Mekong levels surge after rains
Bangkok Post
|July 07, 2025
Water levels along the Mekong River have surged after weeks of rainfall, prompting authorities to issue warnings of flash floods and landslides in several areas in the Northeast.
In Bueng Kan's Ban Phan Lam district yesterday, the Mekong’s depth was recorded at 8.6 metres, about 30 centimetres higher than the previous day. While the level is still within the normal range, the sudden surge prompted authorities to urge local residents to exercise extra caution.
The Office of National Water Resources said the rapid rise was caused by a combination of rainfall across Bueng Kan and increased water runoffs from Loei, Nong Khai, as well as Laos.
