Ah - ok, but there is no "runoff" there's been no rain! Sure dams should be built in areas where rains fall, but the climate is changing, the rains are not falling at this time! - as they used too! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but your post makes absolutely no sense, are you saying 2 days wasting water is no difference than 10 days of wasting water? where is your logic?

Glad someone else has a warped and demented sense of humour! Yes, may as well try and fill the sea as believe that banning the annual & ancient Buddhist water festival that celebrates the "passing" & welcomes the "new" would make the slightest difference to saving water! A mere drop in the ocean, a good time for people to relieve their stress! If a Thai suggested we in the west stopped using Christmas paper to save trees, would the suggestion would be welcomed! Mind - I don't live in Pattaya anymore - thankfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea right ,That's why they are wrong they should've started this 100 years ago then there would be plenty of water being saved . they also could have pipelines to the dams and pump the water from the rivers during the raining season when they can pump the flooded river water into the dams . There's No excuse for Not having enough water . It's managing nature and take advantage what nature provides . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put a "sad" smiley on you hoping that Songkhran is not canceled but returns to what it was a long time ago. This means pouring a little water on the shoulder of the ancients (of whom I am); it would allow me to continue going out on my MTBike because generally I stay confined to the house for 7 days, the jets of ice water with sometimes ice cubes and the drivers drunk, I leave it all to stupid people.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also assume that all the golf courses will have a dry time to make sure, that the small farm of the small man will survive. Perhaps Prayuth and the government should teach the people how to rain dance. Now that would be a sight to see.

End off subject. It is not just a matter of growing a different crop. If you have spent 20 years of rice growing in your paddy fields, you may find that the land is not much use for growing other crops. You need to find a market for your new product, throw out all the pesticides etc and start your new crop. Another side effect is what will you live on when the rice crop has finished and your new crop is not ready. Most small rice farmers are up to their necks in debt already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
