“Chaiya” urgently orders the Department of Royal Rainmaking and Agricultural Aviation Fill water at 31 main dams throughout the country. To cope with the drought before the end of the rainy season, D-Day is another 3-4 days to begin sprinkling rain and adding water to the Pa Sak Cholasid Dam, using the “full focus” approach.
On September 24, 2023, Mr. Chaiya Phromma, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives, said that the drought situation due to the El Nino phenomenon is the main cause of drought in Thailand. Because drought can cause forest fires that destroy the ecosystem. defense preparation and alleviate problems Therefore, it is necessary to prepare for this even though there has been rain in every region in the past. But still unable to add water to the dam as a reserve fund to cope with the El Niño phenomenon.
“As I oversee the Department of Royal Rainmaking and Agricultural Aviation Received a report from the Department of Royal Rainmaking and Agricultural Aviation. Therefore ordered to hasten the replenishment of water to several main dams in 5 regions because the water storage capacity is less than 50 percent of the reservoir capacity. In some places, the water volume is less than 30-40 percent of the basin capacity. This may result in not having enough water for people to use. during the dry season In particular, the Pa Sak Cholasit Dam in Lopburi Province has less than 40 percent of water. If there is any rain, it will have a secondary impact on the dam. that will not be able to deliver water to farmers and the citizens have sufficient water for use and consumption,” said the Deputy Minister of Agriculture.
Mr. Chaiya further said that at this time he has given orders to Mr. Supit Phitaktham, Director General of the Department of Royal Rainmaking and Agricultural Aviation, Mr. Weerawat Angsuphanit, Deputy Director General of Operations. Immediately expedite the preparation of royal rain. According to the plan, it will start on September 25, Department of Royal Rainmaking and Agricultural Aviation. There will be a planning meeting for Royal Rainmaking with the Royal Rainmaking Team, which has 11 centers throughout the country. From the 19 operational machines that are expected to be able to cause rain in the Pasak Cholasit Dam area, Lopburi Province, within 3-4 days, then they will gradually add water in a saturated focus form as well. royal science
Mr. Chaiya further said that the reason for doing royal rain is to replenish and reserve water for use. Because even though it’s raining right now But rainwater does not fall into the dam, causing water costs to be low. Moreover, in the future when the rainy season begins to end The clouds in the sky will have no energy. There is not enough humidity. It will be difficult to make artificial rain. Royal rainmaking uses the formula of royal science to be most effective before the end of this rainy season. In that way, at the point where there is an operation, the Royal Rainmaking Team will fly up and sprinkle chemicals. to make the clouds generate energy Let the body build up first. The Royal Rainmaking Team then attacks the clouds with chemicals. and can cause rain to fall on the target This was after the operation at Pasak Cholasit Dam was complete. The Royal Rainmaking Department and Agricultural Aviation will continue rainmaking operations. To fill 31 important dams according to the Royal Irrigation Department’s plan in every region. Before making royal rain, safety in the river basin area will be taken into account. and the necessity according to the Royal Irrigation Department’s water replenishment plan.
