No end in sight: Bangkok's flood problem to persist


After the 2011 flood, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) launched its "Flood Prevention Masterplan". Yet the BMA went on to the other two projects: the "Bueng Khubon Flood Catchment" in Kanna Yao district and the "Bang Chan Flood Catchment" in Min Buri district. The Bang Chan Flood Catchment facility is going through a public consultation process and has a 93% approval rating from residents in the district, he said. "If the BMA moves too late, this flood catchment project might be grounded like the previous four." BMA did not rule out the possibility their fifth flood catchment plan might hit a snag.
