Climate Action: Water level tracking for flood prevention

Thammasat University, Rangsit Campus locates in a lowland watershed area, and Thammasat University Tha Prachan Campus is adjacent to Chao Phraya River; both of which are considered areas at risk of flooding. The University pays attention to the importance of adaptation to cope with natural disasters and severe weather that may arise due to climate change, especially flooding. The University constantly checks and modifies the water level in water bodies on campus to ensure the safety of buildings, belongings, and all Thammasat community members.
