1 Lessons learned from Floods 2011 and what s next? Sucharit Koontanakulvong Department of Water Resources Engineering Faculty of Engineering, Chulalongkorn University. March 17, 2012 Presented at the 10 th Kyoto University Southeast Asia Forum 2012, Thailand What happened issues Floods 2011 causes Lessons Learned Short and Long term Plan What is next? Conclusions Recommendations 2 1

2 Introduction Flood 2011 started in the north since July Four big summer monsoons occurred during July October 11 Big floods attacked many main cities in the central plain including Bangkok Huge impacts towards lives, socio economicsาง Water Balance analysis to investigate causes 3 Summer monsoon in 2011 พาย ไห ถาง (Haitang) September 2011 พาย เนสาด ( Nesat) 25 Sep. - 1 Oct พาย นาลแก ( Nalgae) a 28 Sep - 5 Oct

15 Prevention and Mitigation Principles (for short term planning) Make use of existing structures with the consideration of local lcharacteristics ti in each area Enhance storage and drainage capacity Prevent flood in community and economical zones Supportive measures (if needed) 12/23/2011 คณะท างานโครงสร างพ นฐานระยะเร งด วน-กยน

16 Short term plan Repair the main gates to protect overflow Establish control chart and points (C2 and Bangsai) Drainage capacity alignment and enhancement (dredging, pumping, dyking) Control flood water at C2 (upper area) Utilize storage capacity (middle area) Drainage zoning (lower area : east and west) Flood warning system and single command Sakae Krang River west 490 นา area 0.05 M ha 1.09 m depth. storage 619 MCM. 27 Dec นา Retention area in flood year (as normal) Chaophraya Diversion นา ,800 1,800 1, haya Chainart-Anyth Nakornsawan 250 นา Retention area in flood year (as normal) Monkey cheek 3,000 Siam Gulf 12/23/2011 คณะท างารงสร างพ นฐานระยะเร งด วน-กยน Water Distribution Chart and control volume with present capacity (cms) Rama VI Diversion 210 Monkey cheek east 315 Area 0.08 M ha 1.22 m depth storage 922 MCM Normal Control improve unit: cms 32 16

18 what is next? New organization (single command) New Dam operational rule (45 % in May) Prepared retention area ( 2 M rai) Better water drainage capabilities (dredging and more pumping) Social acceptance talk Emergency waterway and flood way 35 Conclusions Flood 2011 causes Short term mitigation (to reduce flood as 2011) Long term mitigation ( to tackle future flood scenarios) Lessons learned What are next issues? 36 18
