KHON KAEN: Large water pumping and propulsion machinery was being installed along the Chi River on Wednesday to push water into the Mekong River and ease severe flooding in areas along the river banks.
Kiarttisak Nukaew, director of the Royal Irrigation Department zone 6, said on Wednesday that the Chi River had overflowed when passing through Kudkwang village in tambon Muang Kao of Muang district in Khon Kaen. A huge volume of water was flowing into areas near the river, which was 30 centimetres above its banks.
