CHIANG MAI: At least 20 large pumps will be installed to help drain water from flood-hit Chiang Mai city, the province's governor Nirat Pongsitthithavorn said on Tuesday.
The governor said he would not wait for floodwater to recede naturally, adding that the water pumps would be installed to help drain it.
If there was no rain for three days, water levels would gradually recede, he said, adding the situation was expected to normalise in one week.
