The Water Management Operation Center has insisted that the water situation in most provinces have returned to normal except in Phitsanulok and Prachin Buri. The Water Management Operation Center stated that the water levels in the flooded areas in the North and Central regions have subsided, except in Bang Rakam District in Phitsanulok and Mueang District in Prachin Buri, where the water has overflown the banks. The center, however, expected that water levels will be reduced in a few days. It also stated that Typhoon Jelawat, which has increased its speed from level three to four, has moved upward to Taiwan; thus Thailand is safe from the storm. According to the center, the precipitation in Thailand this year has so far measured 1,200 millimeters or 20% less than the amount of the same period last year. As for the concerns for drought, the Center insisted that there will be enough water as the Bhumibol and Sirikit Dams are holding around 60% of their capacity. It expected that by the end of the rainy season, both dams will have had 80% of water in them; enough for agriculture next year.
