The Royal Irrigation Department announced plans to construct a new canal that will connect the Pasak River to the Gulf of Thailand. The primary aim of this project is to alleviate flooding in the Central Plains basin during the rainy season and address water shortages during the dry season.

 

Spanning 135 kilometres, the canal will originate in Tambon Roeng Rang, located in Saraburi’s Sao Hai district, and conclude in Tambon Song Khlong in Chachoengsao’s Bang Pakong district. The canal will traverse 38 tambons and 11 districts across Saraburi, Ayutthaya, Nakhon Nayok, Samut Prakan, and Chachoengsao.

 

The construction process will be divided into two distinct phases, reported Bangkok Post. During the first phase, a 54.5-kilometre canal will be excavated from Bang Nam Prieo to Bang Pakong district in Chachoengsao. The canal will be extended upon completion to join Klong Raphi Phat in Ayutthaya.

Thats a lot of plastic ending up in the Gulf.

There are any number of Klong up here in the rice paddies (and in Bangkok for that matter) choked up with vegetation, litter and every other sort of waste so why will this be any different?
