The Mekong River s depth in Chiang Rai s Chiang Saen district is expected to drop by about 1.3 metres today, as a dam in China s Yunnan province reduced its discharge rate last week, a river monitor warned.
According to a warning on Saturday by the Mekong Dam Monitor, an online Mekong River monitoring network, communities downstream of the Jinghong dam should prepare for a sharp dip in water levels on Monday of up to 1.3 metres.
The National Water Command Centre (NWCC) also issued a warning to provinces along the Mekong River to brace for sharp drops in water levels, as the dam s operator slashed its discharge rate to 1,854 cubic metres (m³) per second, from 2,525m³, on Friday and Saturday.

Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon on Monday called the military takeover in neighbouring Myanmar an internal matter of the neighbouring country.
The Myanmar army has declared a state of emergency after detaining Ms Suu Kyi and other key members of the National League for Democracy in an early morning raid on Monday.
Gen Prawit said the government was more concerned about more coronavirus cases imported from Myanmar as a result of the coup.
