The Thai cabinet has approved 6.2 billion baht for the Royal Irrigation Department to build a reservoir in Tha Wang Pha district of the northern province of Nan.

 

Deputy Government Spokesperson Rachada Dhnadirek said that the multi-purpose reservoir is not only for irrigation, but to store water for consumption, ease flooding and serve as a new tourist destination for in the province.

 

The Nam Khee reservoir is to be located in Ban Wang Pha of Pha Thong sub-district and will cover an area of 277 hectares in the Nam Yao National Forest Reserve and Nam Suat Forest. The project will increase irrigated land to 5,680 hectares in Pha Thong, Pha To, Pa Kha, Si Phum, Rim and Tan Chum sub-districts and in the Tha Wang Pha municipal area.

6,200,000,000 baht for water for 6,000 households means the cost for each household is just over 1,000,000 baht. Must be some influential people living up there to warrant such an expense for infrastructure or the construction company will be handling some heavy brown envelopes. Surely there are better ways to improve infrastructure that will benefit more people.
