CityNews – ?After suffering from devastating floods in 2011, Chiang Mai is taking some preemptive actions in preparation for the upcoming monsoon season. Chareon Saguansat, the deputy governor of Chiang Mai, has teamed up with the Chiang Mai Irrigation Project to implement a “flood prevention and mitigation plan” in order to reduce possible damages in cities susceptible to flooding.

Massive floodgates capable of draining over 1,200 cubic metres per second are being built Tawangtan sub-district, and the city of Chiang Mai will be in close contact with meteorological departments, reservoir management, and the water and analysis centre in order to predict flood patterns, assess potential damages and also to dredge up and repair the irrigation canal.
Chareon added that further projects were underway, including: studies regarding water development in the Maetang River at the Nam Kued Reservoir and Mae Tang Reservoir, possibly building the Nam Ping Reservoir in Chiang Dao district, developing flood solutions in the Mae Kuang area, and repairing the Doi Noi Reservoir and Wanpan Reservoir which were both damaged by the flood in 2011.
