BURI RAM: Water volume in 11 out of 16 medium-sized reservoirs in this northeastern province has exceeded their capacity, with the large Lam Nang Rong Dam overflowing its spillway, sparking fears among residents about a repeat of the severe flooding they experienced in 2013.
Residents of Non Din Daeng district gathered on Saturday near the Lam Nang Rong Dam to witness water overflowing into its spillway after days of heavy rain. Runoff from the Don Yai forest has also flowed into the dam, where total volume was measured at 126 million cubic metres — 5 million cu m above its holding capacity.
