“Dr. Seree Supharathit” pointed out that the rain and flooding now is just the first scene. At the end of September, it will be influenced by the storm. Make it more severe when Oct. finds more water But fortunately, the northern waters did not mobilize, suggesting the Bangkok governor not to patrol the area. It’s better to be at the center. have seen the overview and must be decisive with the district director
On September 13, 2022, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Seree Supharathit, Director of the Center for Climate Change and Disaster, Rangsit University gave an interview in the program “Khon Knock News” broadcast on satellite television channel “Channel” News One
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Seree said at one point that It’s raining right now, we haven’t seen the influence of the storm directly. The 4th week of this month will start to take effect. The storm formed and affects the upper central region, the central northeast, the lower northeast. We are worried that the rain in the past was just a warning.
The trench from now on will be more intense and longer than before. Especially in the south, long until Nov. The central region may be long until the end of Oct. Careless, must prepare.
In addition, around the 2nd week of Oct. will begin to have the influence of increasing water supply. makes drainage more difficult but one lucky namely, the northern water and the heavy rain in the northern region do not mobilize Come to a level that can handle the northern waters. But the concern is more rain.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Seree said that this year, the rainfall was more than 20 percent more than the average. every time it rains no water supply There is no place to absorb water. People living along the canals are at high risk. must be careful first
Mr. Chatchart Sittiphan, Governor of Bangkok, will meet with him on September 17 at Khlong Maha Sawat. The problem that they will present is The water in the various canals is stagnant and rotten water. Because when the water is supported, the water gate is closed. plus wastewater from homes It just doesn’t drain. if it rains, floods People are like with waste water.
Another problem is that the governor must be the commander of the overall situation. There is no need to go to one point at a time, one day is over. But strict measures must be taken with the district director because the district director is considered a local incident commander if the district director is not ready. then there is a problem Had to go out and let someone else do it instead. Otherwise, problems arise. The governor alone cannot be held responsible.
Must order, command, do not be present at the event. Because every time you go will be a burden on the workers. Being at the central commander would be great. have seen the whole picture
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Seree added that in the short term When it rains, it will flood like this. Long-term, need to look at the drainage system. But what will make us lose all the time is the rising sea level, in the future 30-50 years, Bangkok will not be on the world map anymore if we do nothing.
