Description: |
|
The largest reservoir in Central Thailand is Pasak Jolasid Dam.
Is it 4.8 kms long and stretches across Lopburi and Saraburi
Provinces. It has a storage capacity of up to 960 million cubic
meters. The project was initiated by H.M. The King in the early
1990’s and was officially opened in 1999. Pasak Jolasid Dam is a
source of water for households, factories and farms in the Pasak
Valley. It has also helped greatly with water management in the
Chao Phraya Valley which often suffered from flooding during the
rainy season. The Pasak River is a major tributary of the Chao
Phraya River, flowing eastwards through Phetchaboon, Lop Buri
and Saraburi Provinces, and joining the Chao Phraya River in
Ayutthaya Province. Before the building of the dam, this river
was one of the main sources of flooding in Bangkok. |
