A dike in Suphan Buri province burst on Tuesday, sending a huge amount of water into two villages and flooding more than 300 rai of farmland in Muang district.
Days of heavy downpours caused the Sra Buathong dike in Muang district to burst. Village Group 5 in tambon Sanamkhi and Village Group 7 in tambon Taling Chan were inundated. More than 10 households were badly affected and more than 300 rai of paddy fields about to be harvested were damaged.
Watcharin Kerd-iem, head of Village Group 7, blamed the construction of the dike and the digging of a canal in his village for the flooding in his community. His village experienced flooding at least three times a year as excessive water from nearby areas flew into the village's canal.
Residents from the two flood-hit villages will join forces to pressure relevant agencies to solve repeated flooding in their communities, said Mr Watcharin.
