Nong Hahn water levels look normal to me

With all the talk of drought and water shortages throughout Thailand, I was interested in seeing what  the local lake water levels looked like.

Even though water levels seem to be down somewhat, older pictures were taken in October, at the end of the rainy season.  Water demand has obviously increased in the area, so the water level will be something to keep an eye on.

South of Sakon Nakhon one stream has dried up.
Pictured on the left is the road bridge after flooding had subsided in August 2008.  Today you can see collapsed roadway in the dry stream bed.
