Rimmer Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Pattaya officials scramble for new water source after 2 reservoir expansions canceled PATTAYA:--Pattaya officials are looking for new sources of water after the Royal Irrigation Department canceled two area reservoir-expansion projects. Mayor Itthiphol Kunplome confirmed Sept. 27 that the government dropped the Huay Khainow Reservoir expansion days after it axed the 10 million cu. meter expansion of Mapwaisom Reservoir in Khao Maikaew. In both cases, residents objected to the digging, which would have displaced local homes and businesses for the benefit of Pattaya hotels. “This project was vital to the water supply system, as the hard water was destined for Pattaya’s water-production plant,” Itthiphol said. “Since local residents protested against the project, the government will follow their wishes, but cannot sit idle because water scarcity is not consistent with development and growth.” Full story:http://www.pattayamail.com/localnews/pattaya-officials-scramble-for-new-water-source-after-2-reservoir-expansions-canceled-17240 -- Pattaya Mail 2012-10-05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
