Abstract
The city of Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand has been subject to regular major floods in the past couple of decades. In this review, we provide some background information on the hydrology of Upper Ping river catchment, the hydrogeology of the Chiang Mai – Lamphun basin, historical records of hydrological events in the area and more recent depictions of major floods. In the second part of this review, a development on the potential causes of floods, the issues of water management in the catchment and the advances in flood modeling and projections on future climate in the upper Ping and its influence on the waterways is also explored.
