webfact Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 PM's Office says there is enough water for summer BANGKOK, 13th March 2017 (NNT)-The Prime Minister's Office has assured Thais there will be enough water for home consumption throughout the summer. According to the Prime Minister’s Office, the government instructed the Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives to begin its anti-drought measures in order to avoid a drought crisis. The PM’s Office believes water shortages will not be severe this year due to last year’s rain. Thirty-four major dams and reservoirs currently contain a sufficient water to get the entire country through the dry period. There is an estimated 20 billion cubic meters of water suitable for household consumption this year. It has increased from a year before by 8 billion cubic meters of water. The Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives also launched its first artificial rainmaking operation earlier this month to ease a smog crisis in the North and raise the water levels in major dams while the second round is set to begin in June. The ministry will also implement 29 projects aimed at mitigating the effects of drought nationwide. The Thai government continues to urge farmers to either use water wisely or diversify their crops in order to lower their dependence on water. -- nnt 2017-03-13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

55Jay Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Thailand is 1 dry season away from major drought again. Scraped through the last one by the skin of their teeth, and you know it's bad when the untouchables in the magic kingdom of BKK, were told to conserve water. Meanwhile, in the rest of Thailand.....

Nigeone Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 I'm sure there is enough water if looked as a volume. Sadly it's not spread across the country though is it ! I'm sure they will be drought in many areas in a few months and also wouldn't trust their long distance forecasts!. As for this flawed brain making policy. Only maybe works doesn't it if tgeres rain around to start with . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
