Thailand is bracing for its heaviest rainfall in more than three decades, with the country set for an early start to this year's wet season.
The Meteorological Department has warned that from early May, the average rainfall would be the highest in more than 30 years.
Officials at the Royal Irrigation Department (RID) have instructed relevant agencies to be prepared for the rainfall, and ensure that reservoirs and irrigation systems are working properly.
As of March 31, large and medium reservoirs throughout the country were at 50 percent capacity.
The four main dams on the Chao Phraya River (Bhumibol Dam, Sirikit Dam, Khwae Noi Bamrung Dan Dam, and PaSak Choalasit Dam) have a total water volume of approximately 9,417 million cubic metres, or 38 per cent of the reservoir capacity, with approximately 2,748 million cubic metres of usable water.
Water management for 2020-21 is currently operating as expected, Manager reported, with enough to supply the remainder of the dry season.
