Chonburi and EEC residents urged to lower water consumption by 10%, Deputy PM

 

CHONBURI:- Deputy Prime Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan has urged companies and residents within the region of the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) to lower their water consumption as the fresh water supply in the area is running low.

General Prawit together with his advisors, who included all heads of departments responsible for managing water resources, and governors of related provinces, visited Chonburion Wednesday to inspect water supplies.

 

After the inspection, General Prawit shared that despite some precipitation which feeds water into the region’s reservoirs, the quantity is considered low which could lead to many areas within the EEC experiencing water shortages. To combat the threat, the officials have formulated urgent plans to manage the water supply to make sure that there is sufficient water to supply all individuals and businesses until the end of the drought season.

 

Secretary-General of the Office of National Water Resources Dr. Somkiat Prajamwong explained further that the government has created water networks to supply water to the three major reservoirs within the region, namely Prasae Reservoir and Nong Pla Lhai Reservoir in Rayong province, and Bang Phra Reservoir in Chonburi province. The three reservoirs will circulate a water supply to nearby streams while in turn pumping water from those resources to fill the reservoirs.

Yeah. No water for three days now here in South Pattaya. So they decided it's a good idea to put the Chinese whip&caning corridor in an area that has the least rains in the country and very few reservoirs. The water will go to industries instead of people. Let us all suck pennies to rid of the thirst then. %¤!"#!s.

... so that you have more water to wash the streets unnecessarily ...

I thought closing all the MPs would have covered that!

Are the Soapies closed by the way, they use gallons?

Few days ago, they were talking about to add 2 days more to Songkran, and around here all the "car clean" shops are using water along the day.

I'm thinking 10% of the people returned to the Isaan, so that's a lot of water not being used.

All the glasses, dishes, whatnot not being washed  in the bars, restaurants, etc...

Maprachan reservoir is under the dead level, meaning they can't pump water out. But I suppose they can drive there with tankers and suck some out. Still not very clever to waste it on non-edible plants.

I am in Banglamung/ North area and it appears the water gets turned off at nighttime. Usually back on in time for my Mrs to water her garden with the  hose.
