BMAâs solution on flood problem in Bangkok
published : 27 Apr 2021 at 17:44
Flood problem in Bangkok can be occurred in many areas owing to:
• The increasing number of large buildings that discharged a large volume of wastewater;
• The increase of the size of drain pipe or additional network of drain pipes which is uneasy to make it compatible with the draining of water;
• The surfaces that are mostly changed from soil to concrete;
• Physical characteristics of Bangkok which is a low-lying terrain similar to a basin; and
• The ongoing sinking or land subsidence, year by year, that is threatening the city.
