Water Management Coordination Meeting for Sirindhorn, Pak Mun, and Lam Dom Yai Dams
The Department of Water Resources held a meeting to discuss water management strategies for key dams and weirs in the Lam Dom Yai basin.
On September 14, 2026, the Department of Water Resources (DWR) reported that officials from the 11th Office of Water Resources met to coordinate water management strategies. The discussion focused on the operational data and allocation plans for the Sirindhorn Dam, Pak Mun Dam, Lam Dom Yai Dam, and various weirs located along the Lam Dom Yai river basin.
For residents and travelers in the Ubon Ratchathani region, this meeting highlights ongoing efforts by authorities to regulate water levels and flow in these major reservoirs. Effective water management is critical for maintaining local agricultural irrigation, supporting hydroelectric power generation, and mitigating potential flood or drought risks in the surrounding areas.
While the meeting confirms that data exchange and planning are underway, specific details regarding changes to water release schedules or potential impacts on river-based tourism and local water access remain to be confirmed. Visitors planning activities near these dams or along the Lam Dom Yai river should monitor official announcements from the Department of Water Resources for any updates that might affect water levels or recreational access in the coming weeks.
