The National Water Resources Office cut Chao Phraya Dam releases from 2,500 to 2,400 cubic metres per second and expects heavier rain on 9-12 October in the east, central region, Bangkok and vicinity, and the south. Chachoengsao (Bang Pakong basin) and the Pasak and Kaeng Krachan dams are under watch. For businesses in these areas, move stock off low ground, check drainage and pumps, and plan for road and delivery delays. Fish-cage farmers downstream face the most direct impact from release changes.
