Governor leads bid to solve drought, flooding problems

By The Nation

 

 

Sarit Witoon, governor of Ubon Ratchathani, today led a team on a survey of several areas in the province in a bid to find solutions to the problems of drought and flooding. 

 

He had a discussion with locals on the drought situation in Dome Pradit subdistrict, Nam Yuen district. 

 

The governor also heard suggestions from local administration officers and village heads.

 

He will request a remedial budget from the national government to ease the problems in the province.

 

The headman of Thaphosri subdistrict said that local administration officers had surveyed seven water reservoirs in the area in preparation for the inflows of water from Lum Dom Yai River in view of tropical storm Podul.

 

Sarit said they would find a solution for the storage of water in a meeting between local administration and sub-district officials , taking in accounts suggestion from the locals that massive reservoirs should be built for sustainable water consumption.

It's not as if this hasn't been discussed before across the country, no solution has been found.

 

I find the word 'remedial' quite appropriate in this case, especially meaning '2' below:

adjective 1- giving or intended as a remedy or cure. "remedial surgery" OR 2- provided or intended for children with learning difficulties.

The solution falls from the sky.... you won't find it on the ground !

It really doesn't matter that much how many reservoirs and dams you build if there is not enough rain to fill them.

they are welcome to some of our rainfall   (kalasin)  been pi--ing down for days on end now  not that the rain bothers me but the  electric   outs are a pain in the butt

A rain dance?

That's the problem here, it's either famine or feast, in some areas there has been no rain for months hence a drought, now it is tipping down in those drought affected areas and what happens ? The much needed H2O is just left to run away or flood vast areas with no hope of capture and storage for future use.

 

It's been happening since time immemorial 

 

Totally pathetic.
