Thai floodway project set to finish in 30 months

The Thai government's USD$ 3.83billion floodway project is set to be completed in 30 months. The project is part of an $11.18billion project on water resources management, which Thai authorities predict will permanently stop the flooding of the Chao Phraya River plain. The floodway project involves the building of a 2km road which acts as a dyke as well as two floodways. The government is also planning an irrigation system to enable farmers to plant two to three rice crops a year.
