Irrigation chief eases fears of water shortage
There is no risk of Thailand suffering severe water shortage in 40 days as widely feared, Royal Irrigation Department (RID) chief Thongplew Kongchan affirmed, despite the low levels of usable water at the Chao Phraya River basin’s four major dams.
He instructed irrigation projects to strictly adhere to the RID guidelines and urged local administrators and the public to help save water.
