webfact Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Industrial estates on alert for coming droughtBy Digital ContentBANGKOK, March 24 – Industrial estates in Bangkok’s outskirts have been told to reserve water and reduce their consumption in light of an approaching drought, according to the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT).IEAT governor Verapong Chaiperm said water in reservoirs and dams has been depleted while sea water has surged into the Chao Phraya River, resulting in salty water at higher levels than in past years.The saltwater will affect industrial manufacturing while industrialists have been warned to prepare for the undesirable situation, he said.Four major industrial estates under the IEAT supervision are Saha Rattana Nakhon, Bang Wah, Bang Pa-in and Nong Khae with a total water consumption of 1.64 million cubic metres per month.All the industrial estates partially produce and reserve water for their consumption.Mr Verapong said the IEAT has closely followed the water situation from reports of the Royal Irrigation Department, the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department and the Provincial Water Works Authority, and regularly inform industrialists on the latest phenomenon so that they can work out their preparations.

ABCer Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Concern is just the right word. As to what they are going to do about it - that is a big question. Probably nothing. They had concerns about floods. Now about drought. But the money is made on both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Buffy Frobisher Posted March 24, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2014 There definitely appears to be a correlation between this government, particularly its Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department, and the expression "couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery"! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatsujin Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 There definitely appears to be a correlation between this government, particularly its Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department, and the expression "couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery"! Planning and prevention ... it shouldn't be that hard in this day and age ... in most countries ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katipo Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Well I suppose it makes a change from the floods. Can we have just one year without some sort of disaster please? Let's be honest, even the natural ones are in fact due to human mismanagement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai at Heart Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Wait for it, they will be mulled to urge something soon. Are the flood barriers are finished yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asiantravel Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 And in 2 to 3 weeks they will be chucking it from the back of pickup trucks and splashing it around with no worries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbamboo Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 Will this drought be before or after the next flood? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chainarong Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script> Will this drought be before or after the next flood? It is hard to say at this stage due to no lateral satellite coverage from Beijing, however Dubai informs that it will be all okay, just like the rice scheme.
