Black lagoon proves tough to budge

 

PATTAYA:--Following a recent visit by Chonburi Governor Pakarathorn Thienchai to the site of a large pool of fetid water that had formed on a Najomtien beach, Sattahip officials were called back to the scene on Sept. 2 to dispatch 1000 more EM (Effective Micro-organism) balls into Klong Nammao in Soi Najomtien 14, the source of the waste water. The micro-organisms in these mud balls are believed to help rid polluted floodwater of foul odors caused by a build-up of unwanted fat, protein, starch and ‘bad’ bacteria, thus improving its quality.

 

Klong (canal) Nammao is a natural water course draining out into the sea but recent high winds have led to a build-up of sand close to its mouth and resulted in the waste water forming a putrid pool on the popular beach, affecting both tourists and local businesses alike.

The bacteria probably died when they put them in as it was too polluted for even germs to survive.  lol.

So Mother Nature worked to expose what goes into the sea,without the

water been blocked it would have been business as usual,they are going

to need more balls if they are going to solve this problem.

What a lot of balls. This is supposed to be a haven for hisos and would be hisos; the Cote d'Azure of the Eastern Seaboard if you will. Ankle deep sewage ruins the ambience, don't you know?

They would probably do better using aerators in the area, unless the EM balls can work under anaerobic conditions. In other countries, it's called a septic tank.

AS far as I remember, they do work in anaerobic conditions.

Regrettably a proper sewage treatment plant would be completely out of the question ????

Another tourist attraction? Throw some EM balls and see if you can change the colour of the water.

Such treatment would cost serious money, throwing mud balls is for free...

too bad if they got the wrong type of balls... 

 

 

Have they no shame....getting harder and harder to watch these performances...

They need to come up with new material.  No one believes these BS press releases anymore.  ????

He doesn't have enough balls to solve the problem.

The Klong may be a natural water course, but the water in it is anything but....

 

Time to bite the bullet and fine all polluters of waterways. Then, miraculously, water treatment works will be built.

This is so easy, just throw in around 30 gals of chlorine, next morning it will be clear. But don't swim in it.

Any fule kno a swimming pool engineer will solve this one.

Well I just used a cup of the powder when I found a dead rat in my water barrel... cleared up quite well. 

there must be many chemicals that can help solve the problem ....
