Thai villagers in cooperation with community leaders have made bio-fermented water to solve the issue of rotten water in natural canals that smell bad.

 

The bio-fermented water can be made by bringing leftover food waste from daily consumption to be mix with molasses and emulsified liquid and then left to ferment under natural anaerobic conditions for 15 days.

After that villagers pour the bio-fermented water into the canals to help add oxygen and improve the conditions of the water in the canals that will become clean.

 

Villagers in Mueang Samut Prakan District said the bio-fermented water can be used for working in agriculture, fish farming, and watering plants as in the past.
