Bangkok tap water may turn brackish as seawater intrudes into Chao Phraya

The Office of National Water Resources (ONWR) is keeping a close watch on the intrusion of seawater into the Chao Phraya River, to the extent that it may affect the production of tap water.

 

ONWR secretary-general Somkiat Prajamwong said that they have been coordinating with the Royal Irrigation Department and the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT) to increase the release of water from four main reservoirs by about 10 million cubic metres/day until January 5th, in order to flush seawater out of the river.

 

He admitted, however, that there might not be sufficient flow from the reservoirs, namely Bhumibol, Sirikit, Pasak and Kwae Noi Bamrungdaen, to have the desired effect in late January and February and that this might affect the quality of tap water.
