The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has plans to work with the Royal Irrigation Department (RID) and governors in neighbouring provinces to better manage the city's flood waters during the rainy season.
Bangkok governor Chadchart Sittipunt on Saturday met Seree Supratid, director of the Climate Change and Disaster Centre at Rangsit University, for talks on prevention and finding ways to alleviate the impact from inundation at Kuson Sueksa School.
At the meeting, Mr Seree proposed a short-term plan to set up a water service centre to cooperate with locals, instructing district chiefs to follow up on situation assessments to ensure a prompt response.
