Flowing 370 kilometers through Thailand, the Chao Phraya River is more than the nation’s lifeline. It was a principal waterway that largely determined the expansion of this former agricultural city. With the advent of industrialization, the focus shifted to the establishment and consolidation of man- made infrastructures such as roads and highways, leaving the waterfronts as large areas of underused land, deteriorated ports, warehouses, and informal settlements.

Nine representative plots 19 were established in Bang Kachao peninsula in 4 tropical urban forest types: rehabilitation forest, 20 home-garden agroforestry, mangrove and park. The correlation between NDVI and LAI obtained 21 from satellite images and plant structure from field surveys were analyzed.

  • The Case of the Chao Phraya River Basin, Thailand
    Elements for a political ecology of river basins development: The case of the Chao Phraya river basin, Thailand Paper presented to the 4th Conference of the International Water History Association, December 2005, Paris. François Molle1 Summary Like other natural resources, water can be mobilized for wealth generation. The spatial expression of land resources and of the natural water regime, in terms of quantity, quality, timing, variability and availability (or easiness to divert or abstract), coupled with the distribution of power in society, defines and underpins the early development of river basins and the pattern of control over water. As societies grow and more water is diverted, users located in different parts of a river basin find themselves increasingly in interaction through the hydrological cycle. In addition, this cycle is constantly redefined by interventions and infrastructures (dams, dikes, irrigation and drainage schemes, etc.,) and by the different uses themselves (change in timing, alteration of water quality, change in groundwater flows due to abstraction, etc.,). The water regime is thus increasingly man- made or artificial and the resulting interconnectedness partly amenable to management. The paper argues that the consumption of space, the control over water, and the way costs and benefits are shifted across scales and social groups can be addressed through a political ecology framework. Water use incurs costs and generates externalities that tend to be imposed on third parties. River Basin Organizations—in all their diversity—are an attempt to manage resulting conflicts and to craft patterns of governance that are more inclusive and conducive to a more equitable and environmentally sustainable share of resources.

Many studies, carried out near the basin outlet, have suggested that the dam impounds significant sediment, resulting in shoreline retreat of the Chao Phraya Delta. In this study, the impact of damming on the sediment regime is analyzed through the sediment variation along the Ping River. The results show that the Ping River drains a mountainous Citation: Namsai, M.; region, with sediment mainly transported in suspension in the upper and middle reaches.

  • Short Term Floods Mitigation Measures After Thailand Floods 2011 by Assoc
    Short term floods mitigation measures after Thailand Floods 2011 By Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sucharit Koontanakulvong Faculty of Engineering Chulalongkorn University Abstract During July-November 2011, Chao Phraya Plain of Thailand suffered from the serious flooding started in July in the northern area and the flood went downward to midstream area in September and reached Bangkok area in October. It was the first time that flood water reached the inner part of the capital city, Bangkok, and also caused flash flood to many main industrial estates in the suburb of Bangkok. The damages of this flooding was estimated to be more than ten times of the previous major past flooding especially to the industrial sector and were in the ranking number four of disaster damages in the world. The floods also induced huge impacts to the world’s insurance industry and industrial logistic supply chain system. After the floods, Thai Government increased particular concern over floods mitigation measures including both immediate and sustainable measures. The Strategic Formulation Committee on Water Management Resources (SFCWMR) was set up to draft the mitigation measures. This paper summarized the directions and plans for short term flood mitigation measures by which some plans had been implemented in the passing years. The effectiveness and some concerns for further improvement were also commented for future flood planning. Keyword: Thailand, floods, short term, mitigation plan, Chao Phraya, Bangkok 1. Introduction During July-November 2011, Chao Phraya Plain of Thailand suffered from the serious flooding started in July in the northern area and the flood went downward to midstream area in September and reached Bangkok area in October.
