Cover photo description:
The major bridges that cross the Chao Phraya are in the province of Bangkok: the Rama VI rail-road bridge; Phra Pin-klao near the Grand Palace; Rama VIII, a single tower asymmetrical cable-stayed bridge; Rama IX, a semi-symmetric cable-stayed bridge; and Mega Bridge, part of the Industrial Ring Road. In Bangkok, the Chao Phraya is a major transportation artery for a vast network of river buses, cross-river ferries and water taxis, also known as longtails. More than 15 boat lines operate on the rivers and canals of the city, including commuter lines. Phra Pok Klao Bridge (Thai: à¸ªà¸°à¸žà¸²à¸™à¸žà¸£à¸°à¸›à¸à¹€à¸à¸¥à¹‰à¸²) is a bridge crossing the Chao Phraya river in Bangkok, Thailand. The bridge was designed to alleviate traffic congestion on the adjacent Memorial Bridge. The bridge is composed of 3 viaducts, with the central viaduct designed to carry future mass transit links. As of December 2007 there are no plans to use the central viaduct. Rain is liquid water in the form of droplets that have condensed from atmospheric water vapor and then precipitatedâ€”that is, become heavy enough to fall under gravity. Rain is a major component of the water cycle and is responsible for depositing most of the fresh water on the Earth. It provides suitable conditions for many types of ecosystems, as well as water for hydroelectric power plants and crop irrigation.
