Shrinking Pattaya Reservoirs
Recent news reports are painting a dire picture for the area water supply over the coming months. I had a nice bike ride around Mabprachan this morning to check the situation out and take a few pics that can serve as a baseline of how bad the lake level gets as we head into the dry season. Currently nowhere near as bad as it was in Sept, 2015, but we may get there. At the end of this post is a link to pics from Sept, 2015.
Lake level looks ok in the view to the north
But the overflow
The weekly water situation report as of 31 January has been posted on the EW site (link). In the week since their last update the reservoirs are down about 6 million cubic meters. Assuming the trend is linear that means we have about seven weeks before we hit the minimum storage volume of 31 MCM.
