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. source: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=remedial 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billd766 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 quote from the OP. "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 really doesn't matter that much how many reservoirs and dams you build if there is not enough rain to fill them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Triangle Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 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.
