Asst Prof Dr Sombat Yumeang of Chulalongkorn University's director of Center of GIS Research for Thailand on Tuesday night TNN 24 tv flood analysis sees nothing can threaten central and inner Bangkok now.
Even though Big Bag is allowed to act as a weir letting more floodwater in, the waterfowl rate poses no problem for Bangkok Metropolitan Authority's drainage capacity right now. More and more formerly flooded areas in Bangkok North are beginning to dry.
Dr Sombat said he could not see anything threaten Bangkok's inner and central areas now.
The dry residents should think about helping those who are still in need and suffering for us. All sandbags in inner cities should be donated to various organizations such as TV, Thai Red Cross. Volunteers are also needed to help distribute help to flood victims.
Turning to western front, Dr Sombat noted that BMA and Samut Sakhon cooperated well to make it possible for floodwater to flow unimpeded to various canals system down to the sea.
Floodwater may cross Rama II in some low-lying sections and then would be steered towards Khlong Mahachai's water retention area to be pumped into the sea.
Good news: Tha Chin river level is getting lower, now that high tide has passed.
Bad news: Pumps are breaking down left and right as they are working too hard, making it harder to drain water into Tha Chin river and other canals.
More pumps should be moved from Bang Pakong river and other areas which have yet to see floodwater in great volume to Tha Chin river and other canals along Rama II Rd to help expedite waterflow.
