webfact Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 History repeats itself: Buriram residents have no tap water for months Picture: Daily News A devastating drought in Buriram in Thailand's north east has left thousands of families without tap water for the last 2 months. Both the Huay Jorakhae Mark and Huay Talat reservoirs have dried up and pumping from other sources has proved insufficient. In some areas like Ban Makha the residents have to go with pots and pans to get water from a 2,000 liter tank supplied by the local authority at the end of the soi. Daily News said that 34,000 households are affected. Picture: Daily News One female resident recalled 60 years ago when the area was known for not having sufficient water. She never thought that with today's infrastructure that history would repeat itself.

Glad you got things figured out, tourists will bring rain, and get water into people's homes? Haven't they had record numbers of tourists for years? but the people have no water? Cant fix stupid!
