Authorities Monitor Rising Water Levels in Yang River Basin
The Office of the National Water Resources (ONWR) is closely monitoring the Yang River as water levels approach critical thresholds in Roi Et and Yasothon provinces.
According to a report by Prachachat Business, the Office of the National Water Resources (ONWR) has issued a warning regarding the Yang River basin. As of July 30, 2026, authorities are closely observing water levels in the Phon Thong and Selaphum districts of Roi Et province, as well as in the Mueang Yasothon district, specifically within the Du Thung and Doet sub-districts of Yasothon province.
Officials anticipate that water levels will continue to rise, creating a significant risk of the river overflowing its banks today. In response to this potential flooding, the ONWR is coordinating with various local agencies to mobilize equipment and personnel to manage the situation and mitigate potential impacts on the surrounding areas.
For residents and travelers in these regions, this situation may lead to localized flooding, which could affect road accessibility and daily travel routes. It is advisable to monitor local news updates and follow instructions from provincial authorities regarding safety and potential detours. At this time, the full extent of the overflow and the duration of the high-water alert remain to be confirmed, as the situation is dynamic and dependent on ongoing rainfall and water management efforts in the basin.
