Chiang Rai flood levels to improve, govt says

The Office of National Water Resources (ONWR) says the overall flooding situation in Chiang Rai will gradually improve by Monday, though the respite may be short-lived.

On its Facebook page, the ONWR said the situation in Muang and Mae Sai districts will slowly improve, with water levels expected to recede and conditions set to return to normal by Monday.

Plans have been put in place to drain floodwaters from affected communities in these two northern districts as quickly as possible.

The Chiang Rai Provincial Public Relations Office also reported on its Facebook page that various agencies are working together to solve inundation issues and restore water systems in both districts.

Authorities are coordinating with the Provincial Waterworks Authority and state agencies, including the Department of Water Resources, the Royal Irrigation Department, the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, and the Department of Highways.
