The Phuket Provincial Water Resources Subcommittee delved into water projects exceeding 1 billion baht yesterday and made quite a splash. The meeting, held at Phuket Provincial Hall and chaired by Phuket Vice Governor Norasak Suksombun, saw a flood of attendees from various government agencies.

 

The discussion navigated through the island’s rainfall patterns, water levels in its three main reservoirs, water consumption, tap water production, and reports from the Southern Western Meteorological Center, the Phuket Irrigation Office, the Phuket Waterworks Authority, and Phuket City Municipality, diving deep into the aquatic intricacies of the region.

 

Furthermore, consideration of project plans aligned with the water resources action plan for fiscal year 2025 garnered significant attention. These plans had previously been approved by the Cabinet during the mobile Cabinet meeting in Ranong on January 23.

 

During the mobile Cabinet meeting, the Office of the National Water Resources (ONWR) encouraged Phuket officials to submit additional water resources action plans and proposals for project plans. The ONWR emphasised the importance of meeting deadlines and adhering to procedural protocols, according to an official report of the meeting.

 

It was revealed that the Phuket Provincial Office had reviewed a total of 40 water resources project plans, amounting to almost 602 million baht. These plans aimed to enhance water resource management infrastructure and capabilities across the province.

With that kind of budget there will be a lot of money leaking into many pockets. Hence the flood of attendees.
