Water to be diverted into Chao Phraya
The National Water Resource Committee has approved a plan to divert more water from the Mae Klong River into the Chao Phraya to reduce salinity and maintain the quality of raw water for tap water production.
Panel chairman and Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwon said the committee on Friday agreed with the proposal to draw more water to stave off saltwater intrusion and asked the Royal Irrigation Department and the Metropolitan Waterworks Authority to manage the water efficiently.
