The powerful earthquake which rattled central Myanmar yesterday morning had no adverse impacts on two major dams in Kanchanaburi province, the dam directors said.
Boon-in Chuenchavalit, director of Srinakarin dam, and Vanich Saengsuwan, director of Vajiralongkorn dam run by the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand, said the dams are able to withstand strong quakes and this one had no effect on the structures.
