27 drought-hit provinces named disaster zones

By THE NATION

 

 

The Interior Ministry’s Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation has named 27 provinces as disaster zones due to severe drought and is mobilising agencies to provide immediate relief through measures such as digging wells, pumping water, building tanks and distributing water among residents.

 

Monton Sudprasert, the department’s director general, said that from October 17, 2019 to May 22, 165 districts in 29 provinces were hit by drought.

 

“However, Uttaradit and Kalasin are no longer facing drought, which has reduced the disaster zones to 27 provinces, 160 districts and 7,444 villages,” he said.

 

Of the drought-hit provinces, eight are in the North, namely Chiang Rai, Phayao, Nan, Sukhothai, Phetchabun, Chiang Mai, Phitsanulok and Tak; nine in the Northeast, namely Nong Khai, Bueng Kan, Nakhon Phanom, Sakon Nakhon, Maha Sarakham, Nakhon Ratchasima, Buri Ram, Chaiyaphum and Si Sa Ket; nine are in the Central region and East, namely Nakhon Sawan, Uthai Thani, Chai Nat, Kanchanaburi, Suphanburi, Chachoengsao, Prachinburi, Chanthaburi and Chonburi, while one is in the South, namely Songkhla.

 

In line with the severe water shortage, the department has been campaigning for each sector to use water economically and is urging farmers to make adjustments according to the situation. People suffering from drought can call 1784 any time of the day or night for immediate assistance.

No wonder the state of emergency is being continued, they haven't finished building tanks to control the masses yet ????

We have a lake / reservoir not more than 2 Kms from our house in Chiang Rai, and yet we constantly have problems with the mains water supply.

 

The lake / reservoir was built on the previous King's initiative, yet the local whatsits with their stupid toy soldier uniforms don't have enough gumption to ensure a year round supply to a mere few hundred houses and some rice paddies.

 

It is utterly pathetic.

And this comes after an amazing summer last year, where in Chaiyaphum province we had massive rains. Filled up all the ponds and reservoirs, which are nearly empty now, due to little rain in the past 7 months. Sugar yields are down by as much as 60% in many areas. Hoping for rain soon. ZEUS. Where are you when we need you?

He's made peace with Metis, Themis, Mnemosyne, Hera, Leto, Europa, Io, Semele, Ganymede, Callisto, Dione, Eurynome,

Persephone, Nemesis, Thaleia, Alkmene, Danae, See, Demeter, Persephone & Nemesis, which leaves no one to cry, so the skies have stayed dry.  ???? ???? ????

strange; they speak of drought in Prachinburi ( my province ), but for ten days  now it rains almost every day , and sky is covered every day ; weather is  really "raining season"  ; maybe it's very local
