SINGBURI, 12 Jan 2015 Officials in Singburi’s Thon Samor Sub-district have been noticing that the unnaturally low level of water in Noi River has caused land subsidence in the area.
The officials said that collapses were reported along a riverside road on January 9th and 10th, and they have initially deployed heavy machinery to patch the rifts on the road. They indicated such an incidence had occurred around 10 times since the end of 2012 causing damages at different degrees, and foundation piles were installed as a temporary solution to prevent further soil erosion.
According to the officials, the water level in the Noi River has dangerously lowered during the past 2 days, damaging a house in Wihan Khao Sub-district and other structures next to the river banks.
Singburi Governor Chalothorn Phakhoat has recently visited the area and the affected residents, vowing to find measures to help them as soon as possible.
