Thonburi faces serious flood threat
Report from Bangkok Post dated 28 October 2011 :-
Thonburi faces serious flood threat Possibility is high for the Thonburi side of Bangkok west of the Chao Phraya river to be under.50 metre - 1 metre of floodwater in a few days if more northern runoff is allowed to flow into the area, said the deputy director of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration's Drainage and Sewerage Department. Chainat Niyomthoon said to be severely affected are areas along the banks of the Chao Phraya river and canals. He said he was afraid the worst would come because water in various canals on the Thonburi side of the river, especially Khlong Mahasawat which is the main one, was on the verge of overflowing the banks. If the northern runoff was allowed to flow into the area in a bigger volume than it was now, possibility was high for the entire of Thonburi to be flooded and the water level would be from 50 centimetres 1m high depending on the ground levels. "What the BMA can do if that happens is tell the peple to evacuate the area immediately," Mr Chainat said. |

All of Thon Buri faces inundation
Report from Bangkok Post dated 29 October 2011 :-
All of Thon Buri faces inundation - Defence of west part of Chao Phraya in jeopardy The entire Thon Buri area is expected to be submerged within three days due to signs that northern runoff could overwhelm attempts by City Hall and irrigation officials to defend the western part of the Chao Phraya River. With floodwater levels rising by between 50cm and 1m, Chainat Niyomthoon, deputy director of the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration's Department of Drainage and Sewage, expected the water to eventually overflow several canals including Khlong Maha Sawat in Thawi Watthana district. "We have received information about high water levels in several canals, particularly Khlong Maha Sawat, a main canal in the Thon Buri area," Mr Chainat said yesterday. The BMA and navy were jointly installing 180 sheet piles to reinforce the dyke along Maha Sawat canal but the water level appeared to be too much to handle. That prompted Bangkok Governor Sukhumbhand Paribatra to announce last night that residents living in all areas of Thawi Watthana should immediately evacuate to higher ground. Thawi Watthana is the fourth district in Bangkok where people have been ordered to leave their homes, besides Don Muang, Bang Phlat and Sai Mai. Apart from Khlong Maha Sawat, the southern railway track, which runs parallel to the canal, is another barrier to prevent floodwaters going downstream. But Chaiyaporn Promsuwan, director of the Irrigation Office's Phra Pimol irrigation project, said the track, which is 3m above sea level, could be inundated and was unable to shield Thon Buri from flooding. "The southern track may not be able to withstand [the massive volume of floodwater] in the next two to three days. This will result in heavy flooding in Bangkok's Thon Buri and adjacent areas in Nakhon Pathom," Mr Chaiyaporn said. If floodwaters managed to breach the southern track, the lower part of Bangkok would be badly hit, he added. "Severe damage will happen if people are not evacuated from the area before anticipated floods arrive," he warned Meanwhile, the Flood Relief Operations Command last night said five locations have been set aside as gathering points for people leaving the areas. They are the Thailand-Japan Stadium in Din Daeng, Fashion Island on Rarm Intra Road, Holland Beer on Rama II Road, the Mall department store in Bang Khae and Wat Sri Iem in Bang Na. People should gather there before being sent to shelters, or transported to other provinces if they do not want to stay in Bangkok, Froc spokesman Thongthong Chandarangsu said. The BMA has designated an area under the Vacharapol expressway and Wat Phra Si Maha That as two gathering points for residents affected by flooding in Bang Khen district before they are evacuated to shelter centres. The gathering point beneath the expressway was for flood victims from the Tha Raeng area while Wat Phra Si Maha That was for residents living in the Anusawari area, Bangkok governor MR Sukhumbhand Paribatra said after inspecting the flood level at Ying Charoen market. Several areas in Bang Khen district have been inundated, forcing residents to leave their houses to take refuge at nine shelter centres in the district. The BMA has sped up the drainage of water from Khlong Song canal in Sai Mai district through other canals in the adjacent Bang Khen district before draining it to the Chao Phraya River. The Bangkok governor said Anusawari and Tha Raeng had been affected by flooding. The two areas accounted for 20% of Bang Khen district. The BMA has placed Bang Khen under special watch as a huge amount of the northern runoff was flowing into the district, MR Sukhumbhand said. The flooding in Bangkok is still worrisome as the water level of the Chao Phraya River is expected to rise to between 2.5-2.6 metres above sea level today as a result of high sea tides. |
