PHUKET:-- Office of National Water Resources (ONWR) Secretary-General Somkiat Prajamwong visited Phuket earlier this week to follow up on local projects to boost water supply across the island.

 

Mr Somkiat arrived in Phuket on Monday (Dec 21) to be welcomed by Phuket Vice Governor Piyaphong Chuwong and Phuket Provincial Irrigation Office Director Pairot Kamthorn, who joined him on his tour.

 

During his visit, Mr Somkiat inspected Bang Neow Dam reservoir in Srisoonthorn, which in recent years has drained nearly entirely during the dry months, adding to the water-supply crises Phuket residents have endured.

“It is important to set up water source management plans in order to serve the increasing demand for water. Water management is an important part of supporting the local economy and tourism in the future"........

And that why he's the boss!!

The resolution to the water supply problem has been known for years and could be done this year.  Unfortunately, solving the problem would probably end the careers of many who can't seem to figure it out.

 

How much of a problem is there if no tourists come to Phuket?  Will this actually reduce the shortages anyway?

When ohh when are the Thai's going to wake up...... all that rain / water that runs off roof tops wasted every day.  Put in gutters / water tanks and filtration systems... make it a govt sponsored thing at reduced prices.... its NOT rocket science!
