The Royal Irrigation Department (RID) is keeping an eye on water levels in the Northeast, especially in watershed provinces as the region continues to experience steady rainfall. The 6th Irrigation Office covers the five provinces of Khon Kaen, Maha Sarakham, Roi Et, Kalasin and Chaiyaphum. Mr Thongplew said the water levels in three major rivers in the Northeast -- Chi, Moon and Phong -- need to be closely watched and regulated. "If the water level in these rivers rises above the anticipated level, the water must be diverted immediately," he said. According to the department chief, the water levels at two major reservoirs -- Ubonrat and Lampao -- have not exceeded expectations.
