A senior official from the Royal Irrigation Department said that two extremely large volumes of water northeast of the city will put the city under its most serious flood threat over the next few days, the Nation reported today Oct. 25. The official asked not to be named.
The first mass of water in Rangsit is flooding from Rangsit Canal over Rangsit-Nakhon Nayok Road. The second is now walled up behind Khlong Luang Road in Pathum Thani and will soon cross the road and be joined with the first mass, he said.
“When these two lots [of water] combine, in the next few days, they will amass and break through barriers along Rangsit-Nakhon Nayok road and head to further inundate Lak Luk Ka district in Pathum Thani, then Don Muang in northern Bangkok,” he said. “The first lot is already inundating areas near Klong 1, 2 and 3 on the Phaholyothin Road side, but the Klong Luang road cannot hold the second lot for much longer.”
