Singapore is light years ahead of Thailand in water management. I watched their water plan on TV and it blew me away. 

Yes it's amazing how they handle the run-off from those snow covered mountains and those huge rivers.

logging with ineffective forestry management (cut one plant two) plus Illegal logging upstream = rain water droplet bombs causing irreparable soil erosion (dust bowl possibilities). The science has already been researched. If it was ney for ya wellies where wud ya be....

Frustrated PM asks downstream and upstream people to understand water management system

 

 

Yep,..... protect Bangkok and inundate the rest of Thailand,.... thank you for your kind understanding....

He asks people to please understand the issues, while actively pursuing to make the last PM pay for damages on the last round of flooding.

He is at it again this morning at government house. He ask OTOP vendors to innovate something he can eat to stop his unhappy mood. Then turning to the reporters, he said that when he is angry, they are the group he will vent. Laughable stuff from a leader some posters here adore. 

He reminds me of  a Mr Robert Soul!

Of course he's frustrated as he's being asked questions he can't or won't answer and that amounts to criticism of him which is totally unacceptable.

He's  so full of shit there's  only one thing he needs to eat... a lot of laxitives.

Send those new submarines up river to open the flood gates.

I think you'll find that Bangkok is in worse shape than most of the rest of the country,  as far as floods are concerned.

The main English language newspaper has a "Tunnel" story  and city hall complains that the rains are "just too heavy". Oh dear!.

I live in the lower north and it seems the central region has been harder hit in places. Perhaps the government can divert the submarine funds to another sub-city tunnel fund.

When most don't understand their ass from their elbow, this will be a big ask!

If there is one country that seems to have developed a whole of nation management system for its water and managed flooding to the best of its ability is the Netherlands. I know it has been working on it for literally centuries. However, at some point, Thailand has to adopt an integrated national water management system and I think this is one nation I would be interested in looking at if I was in government and genuinely interested in controlling annual floods. Both countries are similar  in some respects, large tracts of land suffering flooding on a year basis, but one has controlled their's whilst the other tells its citizens to suck eggs.

Assistance from the Nederlands was previously refused.
