In the country’s economic zones and densely populated aras such as Hadyai, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Bangkok and its environs, it has been more of the problems caused by floods. His Majesty’s major flood prevention and mitigation projects such as the “Monkey Cheek” (or “Kaem Ling”) Projects have saved the cities and the people from “drowning”. The Kaem Ling particular approaches to control floods include dikes, watergates, water diversion ditches, pumping stations, cleared and improved watercourses, new canals, and water draining through irrigated canals and into the sea, etc. The people are thus spared from the nightmares--- the yearly northern floods, the monsoon rains, and the encroaching sea-water being harnessed so.
