THE GOVERNMENT’S water-management efforts are being focused on the heavily-flooded Northeast, where at least one-third of the reservoirs have been overwhelmed by water volume. He insisted that the reservoirs could not just hold the water because it was very likely that more rain would come. In the northeastern province of Nong Khai, the Ban Non Yang Don Mek School will shut down between tomorrow and Friday in the face of rising floodwaters. Na Kae district chief Metha Chujan warned people in low-lying areas to move their belongings to higher ground. Some low-lying areas in Ayutthaya may be affected.
