webfact Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Isaan needs more water to sustain farming activities next summer KHON KAEN, 9th October 2018 (NNT) - Secretary-General of the Office of National Water Resources (ONWR) Somkiat Prajamwong, traveled to Khon Kaen province this week to ensure that there is enough water in the northeastern region for use in the summer. Somkiat visited the Nong Wai Operation and Maintenance Project in Numpong district and met with a team of experts to determine how they’re going to increase the amount of water in dams and reservoirs for household consumption and farming activities throughout the next dry season. There is over 63 million rai of farmland in the Northeast but only 6 million rai is irrigated. The agency and Khon Kaen University have found through a joint study that while demand for water in Isaan is 27 billion cubic meters, there is only 12.4 billion cubic meters of water available. Somkiat also cited the need to increase the number of water storage facilities to meet the growing demand. -- nnt 2018-10-09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water management is not Thailand's long suit. The kickbacks pale in comparison to high tech choo-choo trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
