The Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) has adjusted its water management plan for the Sirikit Dam to cope with the new storm and has mobilized large machinery and volunteers from EGAT to clean and restore Mae Sai District, Chiang Rai Province after the water level receded in the project 'Rehabilitate the community, relieve suffering, and promote sustainable happiness' by the Friends in Need (Por Ror) Foundation, Thai Red Cross Society. At the same time, they are rushing to pack relief bags to deliver to flood-stricken areas in Lampang Province. For this visit, EGAT sent nearly 20 large machinery vehicles, including backhoe loaders, wheel loaders, wheel excavators, 6-wheel dump trucks, 10-wheel dump trucks, water trucks with nozzles, 12,000-liter capacity, 10,000-liter capacity, 6,000-liter capacity, and trailers to transport mud and spray and clean mud stains, as well as to collect garbage, objects, and debris left over from the flood. EGAT volunteers went to clean up the area under their r esponsibility at Point 1 (Hua Fai-Sai Lom Joy), a distance of 650 meters. For the Lampang area, which is currently affected by the flood, EGAT has rushed to pack relief bags to deliver to flood victims as soon as possible and is ready to provide assistance to people in other affected areas continuously. It is predicted that the influence of the storm that will make landfall in Vietnam on September 20, 2024 will result in widespread heavy rain. EGAT has therefore closely monitored and assessed the water situation together with relevant agencies and adjusted the water management plan accordingly. As of September 19, 2024, the Sirikit Dam in Uttaradit Province had a water volume of 8,044 million cubic meters, or 85 percent of its capacity. It can still accommodate another 1,466 million cubic meters, or 15 percent, and is expected to be affected by the storm. The Water Management Committee has therefore considered a water discharge plan of 20 million cubic meters per day in order to safely accommodate the water . Bhumibol Dam in Tak Province has a water volume of 7,032 million cubic meters, or 52 percent of its capacity. It can still hold another 6,430 million cubic meters, or 48 percent.
