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
Got out and had a look at Mabprachan Reservoir this morning. Since the water that remains is relatively shallow, the shoreline has receded quite a bit from the last update five days ago.
Maps of the receding shoreline and photo waypoints are now at the end of the post.

The southern shoreline as of today. In a few days that finger of water will be nothing but a memory.
They're catching some nice size fish now.
