Japan-style ‘water bank’ ready in Aug
The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) will complete building the underground “water bank” at flood-prone Asok-Din Daeng Road next month, to better protect the area against severe inundation, according to Deputy Bangkok governor Jakkraphan Phewngam.
The new flood prevention measure, which is modelled on underground water banks in Japan, is a concrete well that can be used to retain rainwater during heavy downpours. The well is connected with pipes and gutters to receive flood water.
