geovalin Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 Banteay Meanchey provincial information department said yesterday that Thmar Puok and Svay Chek districts, which border with Thailand, have flooded due to the opening of the Huai Yang dam sluice gates in Thailand. Information official Sek Sokhom said that the water was released slowly after Thai authorities informed Cambodia that the dam would be opened due to excess water on Friday. Provincial Governor Um Reatrey said yesterday that floods in at least six districts in the province have affected more than 15,000 families and forced at least 2,700 families to evacuate. Speaking while visiting affected villagers, he said that as rain continues to fall, water will continue to flow from Thailand and the nine districts will face further flooding. He added that the three other districts in the province, Phnom Srok, Svay Chek and Preah Net Preah have not been badly affected yet but are due to face more flooding. However, at least 12 schools have been damaged so far. read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50774286/thailand-dam-opens-exacerbating-floods-in-nine-districts/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about when it comes to the "burning stubble" season, make sure the wind is blowing towards Thailand?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
