A national water management meeting chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon on Friday approved a Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) plan to improve drainage efficiency on the eastern side of the Chao Phraya River to prevent flooding.
The meeting also called on the BMA to speed up its study of the drainage system in the eastern part of the capital to be in line with water management projects of other state agencies to ensure the efficient tackling of flooding.
