The project area :Ping Basin

Ping River Basin,
Northern region
Thailand.

1. Introduction

Main factors of floodin Northern Thailand.
Flash floodand overbank flow
inundation trend tooccur mostly in thewet season from May
to OctoberBrings heavy rain bysouthwest monsoon
from Indian Ocean,tropical storm fromSouth China Sea, lowpressure trough orfrontal encounter ofdifferent pressure airmasses.

Why Ping River Basin ? :•Ping River is one of themain upstream basins ofChao Phraya River

So it is one of the main source offlooding in central region..

• High potential area

1. ISSUES AND NEED :THAILAND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR AWCI PHASE 2

1. ISSUES AND NEED :• Natural disasters
caused by climate change• The lack of capability :Climate change assessment andadaptation at river basin scale /regional scale.

THAILAND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR AWCI PHASE 2

2. IMPLEMENTATION PROPOSAL :2. IMPLEMENTATION PROPOSAL :The research project of Ping Basin as“Flood and Landslide Disaster Management Systemwith Public Participation Model”

Ativity 1 : Method -1.Rainfall and runoff analysis / assess by satellite images model.
2.Rainfall and runoff study / apply with available models.
3.Rainfall distribution study / analyse by satellite images

THAILAND IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR AWCI PHASE 2

2. IMPLEMENTATION PROPOSAL :2. IMPLEMENTATION PROPOSAL :.

“Flood and Landslide Disaster Management Systemwith Public Participation Model”

Ativity 2 : Method –1.
2.

Developing real-time upstream flood and landslide possibility
estimating model.
Testing and adjusting the model for another basins application.

Ativity 3 : Method -1.Workshop on warning communication and dissemination procedure for
local people.
2.Technology and geoinformatic system workshop and training for publicsector.

3. AVAILABLE RESOURCES/CAPABILITY :3. AVAILABLE RESOURCES / CAPABILITY :1. Automatic observation stations
2. Previous collected data of the basin by RID and involved authorities.
3. Seattleite data from THEOS and other that support by GISTDAOUTPUTS:
1. Flood and landslide predicting model for local area
2. Efficient early warning system
3. Promote and data publication on website
