     Kampuni ya umeme ya Ratchaburi Electricity Generating Holding, ambayo ndio mshikadau mkuu wa mradi huo, ilisema katika taarifa kwamba bwawa hilo lilipasuka kutokana na mvua kubwa iliosababisha maji mengi kuelekea katika bwawa hilo.

     The electricity company, Ratchaburi Electricity Generating Holding, which is that project's main stakeholder, said in a report that the reservoir broke open due to heavy rain which caused a lot of water to be carried into the reservoir.
