Toy Boy Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Had around half an inch of the wet stuff here last night, most welcome as the gardeners had been around during the day to give the garden a short back-and-sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forcebwithu Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Usual spots are underwater. Give it an hour and the water will have drained away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best they can hope for is to drain the water as quickly as possible once the downpour stops. From accounts I've read, that appears to have been the case yesterday. Reports on Beach Rd is the water was high, but didn't swamp over the footpath to erode the beach, which is impressive given the flooding that was going on.

Reports on Beach Rd is the water was high, but didn't swamp over the footpath to erode the beach, which is impressive given the flooding that was going on. i would agree, yesterday was the heaviest yet. the problem is tho that they lay drainage pipes and charge for it, which simply come out somewhere between the suk and BR, ( ie the drains on third. I am not sure of the answer to the problem but ... there is a soi that runs parallel on the city side, from Big C thru to Nua. that was awash as all the sois between became rivers. the LAKES were massive, the last storm I saw as big as this was prob 8-9 yrs ago when the city took a real pasting. there isnt a fix for these storms for sure.. but felt sorry for the shops and houses.

Rumbleg Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Alas for good drainage you need somthing Thailand dosn't have a lot of...Elevation. The flatness of the land means the water takes a longer to drain to the ocean and with huge rainfall totals some flooding will allways happen.

A good example of one possible solution, and how much it would cost is my hometown, Milwaukee, Wisconsin's Deep Tunnel Project. Completed in 1993 at a cost of $1 billion USD. Here's a good article on what Milwaukee has done to curb sewer discharges during heavy rains.The City Known for ‘Sewer Socialists’ Actually Has Great Sewers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toy Boy Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 The radar shows lots of rain to our north, south and east, but we're stuck in a dry hole in the weather. Come on, Rain Gods, the reservoirs need you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toy Boy Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 That was a nice storm, better than the wimpy rain we had most of the afternoon yesterday. The GF doesn't agree, though, her shack up in Laem Chabang is flooded again. Her ducks were happy, anyway, the dogs and cats probably not so much, lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toy Boy Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 That was a welcome drop of the wet stuff last night. It started pouring down around 7:00 PM and was still raining lightly when I locked up for the night four hours later. Let's hope the reservoirs benefited from it.
