There is a usable water volume of 4,772 million cubic meters, sufficient to support the use of water only for consumption. and preserve the ecosystem only During the dry season of 2019/20, the Chao Phraya River Basin has planned water allocation. From 1 November 2019 to 30 April 2020, approximately 4,000 million cubic meters will be water, costing 3,500 million cubic meters from 4 main dams and diverting water from the Mae Klong Basin to add another 500. million cubic meters.

As for the back side of the Chao Phraya Dam today, water drainage is still maintained at a rate of 80 cubic meters per second. To preserve the ecosystem downstream of the Chao Phraya Dam down to the mouth of the Gulf of Thailand. For this year's dry season planting plan It has been planned to plant crops throughout the country, a total of 2.83 million rai, divided into 2.31 million rai of WhatsApp Number List off-season rice and 0.52 million rai of field crops and vegetables.

The usable water volume is 21,988 million cubic meters, or 46 percent of the total usable water volume. For the situation of water in large reservoirs With a water storage volume less than or equal to 30 percent of the current reservoir capacity (11 Dec. 2019), there are 9 locations, including Mae Kuang Udom Thara Reservoir, Chiang Mai Province, with a water storage volume of 73 million million baht. accounting for 28 percent of the reservoir's capacity.
