Koh Samui Introduces Water Rationing Amid Supply Concerns

Authorities on Koh Samui have announced water rationing measures as the island faces declining reservoir levels and increasing demand from residents and tourists. Officials say prolonged dry conditions combined with the island's growing population and tourism sector have placed significant pressure on available water supplies. The Provincial Waterworks Authority has begun implementing scheduled water distribution across different areas of the island while encouraging households, businesses, and hotels to conserve water wherever possible. Officials are also monitoring reservoir levels and exploring additional water supply options should the situation worsen. Authorities say the measures are intended to prevent more serious shortages and will remain in place until water levels recover or weather conditions improve.
