Trat Province on High Alert as 3 Reservoirs Exceed Capacity Due to Heavy Rainfall

In Thailand's eastern Trat Province, three major reservoirs have exceeded their capacity and begun spilling water through their spillways due to continuous heavy rainfall. The local Irrigation Department is closely monitoring the water levels in these reservoirs and increasing vigilance regarding potential impacts on surrounding areas. This situation highlights the critical importance of water management in the region and the significant impact of extreme weather events on infrastructure. Trat Province, known for its rich natural beauty and tourism, often faces flood risks during the rainy season. The current overflow from the reservoirs could potentially heighten the risk of flooding in downstream areas, depending on future rainfall amounts. The Irrigation Department is urging residents to stay informed about the latest updates and follow official instructions. Efforts are also underway to ensure the safety of areas around the reservoirs. Source: MGR Online (Regional)
