waerth Posted September 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 http://bangkokpost.com/breakingnews/372221/more-rain-forecast-as-industrial-estates-pump-out-water-from-sunday-storms Ayutthaya estates drain floodwater Two industrial estates in Ayutthaya's Bang Pa-In district have had to pump out water after heavy rain caused low level flooding inside the factory complexes. Up to 147mm of rain was record in the area on Sunday, as measured at the Ban Wa Tambon Administration Organisation office in Bang Pa-In district - the heaviest rainfall in the Central region on Sunday. Veerachai Nakmas, Bang Pa-In district chief, said Bang Pa-In Industrial Estate used its full pumping capacity to drain rainwater from its pond into its internal waterway, which will discharge the water into the Jik canal and then down to the Chao Phraya River. Ban Wa Hightech Industrial Estate also reported a large amount of rainwater inside its boundaries and had to pump it out. In the initial stage it had used five pumps but the high rate of discharge of water affected local people living at the back of the estate, so it had to cut back to using only three pumps. The two industrial estates expected draining to take about two hours, Mr Veerachai said. Pumping was necessary because more heavy rain was forecast for about 70% of the province on Monday.

Flashermac Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 19 provinces on flood alert as Typhoon Wutip heads to Thailand State agencies have been ordered to prepare for Typhoon Wutip expected to bring rain and landslides to 19 provinces in the North and Northeast of the country on Tuesday. Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra on Monday instructed the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department and other offices in risk areas to prepare for the storm, which is set to bring torrential rain and floods to many areas already inundated with water. According to a report from the department, 32 provinces are already struggling to cope with floods, which have killed at least 22 people this year. The premier said the government will closely monitor Wutip, while the Flood Relief Operation Centre warned that 19 provinces are in the path of the typhoon. They are Mukdahan, Bung Kan, Nakhon Phanom, Sakon Nakhon, Udon Thani, Nong Khai, Loei, Kalasin and Nong Bua Lamphu in the Northeast and Nan, Uttaradit, Phrae, Phayao, Lampang, Lamphun, Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Mae Hong Son and Tak in the North. Central and eastern provinces may not be directly affected by the typhoon, but existing floods could be exacerbated, especially in Prachin Buri. Deputy Prime Minister Plodprasop Suraswadi said the government is particularly concerned about the situation in Prachin Buri's Muang district, because the business town is being inundated with water from the northern districts of Kabin Buri, Si Maha Phot and Prachantakham. Roads along the banks of the Prachin Buri River in Muang district are now submerged by up to 60 centimetres of water - double the level recorded on Saturday. Provinces downstream of the Chao Phraya dam in Chai Nat have also been hit by floods, as the dam continues to release water at 2,195 cubic metres per second, up from its normal discharge of around 1,800 cubic metres per second. Department director-general Chatchai Promlert warned communities living alongside the Chao Phraya River and other tributaries to prepare for more of the same, since water flowing out of the dam continues to increase flood levels. The situation prompted the prime minister to visit flood-hit areas in Ubon Ratchathani and Si Sa Ket on Monday. The Water and Flood Management Commission and officials of the two provinces have been assigned to try and drain water into the Moon River as a matter of urgency, especially in Si Sa Ket, where 22 districts are flooded and nine people have died. Meanwhile, at least 70 people were missing after three fishing boats caught up in Typhoon Wutip sank in the South China Sea, Chinese state media said on Monday. "Three fishing boats have sunk since Sunday afternoon," Xinhua news agency said, quoting maritime authorities. Altogether five boats carrying 171 people were caught in rough seas whipped up by Typhoon Wutip, which is expected to make landfall in Vietnam's central region later Monday, before reaching Thailand on Tuesday. Vietnam has evacuated 70,000 people from high-risk areas as it prepares for the typhoon, according to the country's national flood and storm control department. http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/372255/typhoon-wutip-flood-alert-for-19-provinces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashermac Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 Cambodia floods claims 30 lives PHNOM PENH - At least 30 people in Cambodia have died in recent floods caused by heavy rains and the Mekong River overflowing its banks. Keo Vy of Cambodia's disaster management committee said Monday that the floods have forced more than 9,000 families to flee their homes and destroyed nearly 100,000 hectares of rice fields. He says that nearly 67,000 homes and hundreds of schools were damaged or submerged. Neighboring Thailand and Laos are suffering similar flooding. Police say four people, believed to be Syrian, died Sunday night when their car drove into a flooded pond. A survivor who was unable to speak Khmer or English pointed to Syria on a map, police said. The government warned that the rains will continue as Typhoon Wutip headed towards neighbouring Vietnam late Monday. http://www.bangkokpo...-kills-30-lives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
