BANGKOK (AP) — Thailand’s prime minister says she is
determined to prevent a repeat of the disastrous flooding that hit Thailand
last year, submerging crops, factories and leaving nearly 800 people dead.
Prime Minister Yingluck
Shinawatra unveiled her government’s flood protection measures Friday, as the
rainy season gets under way and flooding concerns mount.
She said the government has built
more flood barriers to protect important economic zones, installed more pumps
and removed obstacles from rivers and canals to reduce water flow. It also
plans to invest $11 million in a long-term water management system.
She said: Through “concrete
measures and massive investment we are determined to protect our people and
communities, our industry and economy from the threat of floods.”
Last year’s floods were the
country’s worst in half a century.
