Drainage Improvement Project Initiated for Lam Phachi River in Ratchaburi
The Department of Water Resources has begun surveying the Lam Phachi River in Ratchaburi to improve drainage efficiency.
On October 15, 2026, the Department of Water Resources (DWR) announced that its regional office, DWR 7, conducted a site visit to the Lam Phachi River in Ratchaburi province. The initiative, carried out in collaboration with the Agricultural Land Reform Office (ALRO) of Ratchaburi and local community leaders, aims to identify the specific boundaries for a new project focused on enhancing drainage efficiency along the river.
For residents and travelers in the area, this project is significant as it seeks to mitigate water management issues, which could potentially reduce the risk of seasonal flooding or water stagnation in the vicinity. Improved drainage infrastructure often leads to better land stability and safer conditions for local infrastructure.
At this stage, the project is in the preliminary phase of boundary identification. While the authorities have begun the process of mapping out the scope of the work, specific details regarding the construction timeline, potential traffic disruptions, or the exact duration of the project remain to be confirmed. Residents are encouraged to monitor official updates from the Department of Water Resources for further information as the project progresses from the survey stage to implementation.
