Pa Sak Jolasid Dam
““…Originally, the Pa Sak dam was planned for a capacity of 1,350 million cubic metres. But after some modifications, it was left with about 750 million. Considering the figures given here, the Pa Sak reservoir will undoubtedly be able to cope with the needs of water consumption; there will be no water shortage.”
The Pa Sak Jolasid Dam was constructed to store water for agriculture in the dry season and to prevent and reduce the flooding problems in the rainy season in the area of the Pa Sak river basin and in the lower area of the Chao Phraya river basin. Besides, the dam is capable of solving the wastewater problems in Bangkok and big cities in the Central Region. Moreover, the dam serves as a breeding site for fish as well as a tourist site for visitors.
