The Royal Irrigation Department has increased water discharge through the Chao Phraya Dam to 1,750 m³/s in response to rising upstream flows (1,777 m³/s) and continuous rainfall in upper catchment areas. The department is managing water levels proactively by gradually raising reservoir levels to slow water flow while maintaining full irrigation supply to both east and west canal systems. Additional rainfall is forecast for central Thailand through September 27, requiring continued close monitoring of Chao Phraya Basin water levels and coordinated communication with affected northern provinces and agencies.
