Countries like Thailand and the Philippines that experience repeated flooding due to annual seasonal typhoons need to excavate and install underground storm drainage channels constructed of steel-reinforced concrete to take flood waters underground so that they can be quickly conveyed into the ocean.

These storm channels can be constructed one block at a time from the ocean outlet up through city streets by excavating, pouring concrete and covering over with earth and pavement. Then the construction moves on to the next block in the planned path of the storm channel. The ultimate result is that people will not be living every day in water up to their belts and will benefit from a significant reduction in disease and death in these regions along with significant savings from the reduction in the destruction of homes and businesses.

Its up to national leaders in these countries to develop a clear vision of the universal benefits that would result from starting and completing flood management projects that would vastly improve living conditions and prosperity for all in their countries.

I have cousins in Thailand, it has nothing to do with flooding from typhoons. Its really doubtful to have all that water without a typhoon or enough rain to warrant the flooding. Its all political, the last prime minister is a sore loser, so he had his monkeys open all the dams, so Thailand will have a international crisis for the new prime minister. They just want to discredit the new prime minister, ruin the economy and way of life. Instead of looking at opinions, you should get the facts. There wouldn't be this flooding so fast, without a typhoon, there are several dams surrounding the big cities, it wouldn't fill up this quickly. This is one of the biggest flooding in a century. Think about it, if you got 10 dams blocking Bangkok, how is all that rain gonna get to the city. Its all political.
