| 释义 |
Topographical features within the Phitsanulok Province of Thailand include the Phetchabun Mountains, the Nan River and several of its tributaries, waterfalls, swamps, forests, grasslands, caves, a reservoir and an extensive network of canals. Populated areas of the province are largely cleared of natural vegetation and adapted for farming. The land in the province is in the Greater Nan Basin, which is part of the Chao Phraya Watershed. The province includes land within both of the greater Nan basin's sub-basins, i.e., the Nan Basin and Yom Basin.[1] The provincial capital of Phitsanulok is sometimes called Song Kwae, the "city of two rivers", an ancient name dating to a time centuries ago when the Nan and Khwae Noi Rivers met near the city. These two rivers of the Phitsanulok Province are still of major significance to the residents of the region. MountainsThe Phetchabun Mountains run through the province, and provide the source of several of the rivers and streams flowing through the region. CavesThere are a substantial number of caves located within the province.[2] ForestMost of Phitsanulok's forested areas are in the east of the province within Phitsanulok's national parks. GrasslandsThere are several natural meadows or thung preserved in the province's Thung Salaeng Luang National Park.[3] Agricultural landThe majority of inhabited lands in Phitsanulok (i.e., outside the national parks) have been largely cleared of their natural vegetation and adapted for agricultural use, primarily rice farming. As a result, several of the indigenous species of plant life in the region have become endangered. Major riversThe principal rivers that flow through the province belong to the Nan River System.
