The Irrigation Department will keep releasing 2,500 cu m/s from the Chao Phraya dam to pre-drain before extra rain forecast for 5-6 and 11-12 Oct. It says current flows will not overtop dikes in Bangkok, Nonthaburi or Samut Prakan, but low-lying areas and riverside communities still face impact. East side (Prachinburi, Chachoengsao) may take 2-3 weeks to recede; Tha Chin basin flooding may last about a month. If your premises or stock sit in low-lying or riverside areas, check flood readiness and delivery routes this week.
