Jonathan Fairfield Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 BANGKOK (NNT) - The Deputy Prime Minister has ordered urgent aid be provided to flood victims and called for drainage to be aided while water reserves are prepared for the dry season. Deputy Prime Minister Gen Prawit Wongsuwan headed the third National Water Resource Committee meeting of 2021 via video conference, ordering all agencies to expedite their programs while publicizing warnings for the public against water disasters. The meeting approved further progress on the Khlong Kapong Reservoir in Chachoengsao and a water diversion project in Rayong, instructing the Royal Irrigation Department to speed up the undertaking. The DPM then pressed relevant agencies to control flooding and provide aid to those affected in all regions, including providing needed equipment, machinery and transportation. He noted post-flood assistance must also be provided and reserves should be topped up. The committee also approved a rehabilitation plan for Khlong Saen Saeb and made it the chief blueprint for safety, beautification and water quality along the canal. The waterway is to be protected from encroachment as well as the intrusion of salt water. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-09-11 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internationalism Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 the easiest way to skim cream is on emergency committees and aid programs. This money is from special reserves, not planned and done is haste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No such beast as a drought period here, even though some persist on imagining so. If it's any consolation, there is a hot/dry season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
