I am very seriously interested how on earth the groundwater reserves can be repaired.

I suppose pumping up water somewhere else in Thailand resulting in a repairable groundwater reserve there, and bringing the water, one way or another to Korat to repair the groundwater reserve over there.

Time is there to make very big desilting plants near the seaboards of Thailand and pumping the water inland.

Sunshine to power those plants is richly available in Thailand.

It will be declared a disaster area due to flooding in two months.

Need massive amounts of baht spent on water management, as does most of NE Thailand from what I can fathom.
