kirbi53 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I thought that PM Cha Cha and crew were experts at water management. Didn't they get this sorted out a while back. Or perhaps it is China cutting the flow of The Mekong river Soon there will be drought victims/donations pouring in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the PM said with the flooding, that the government didn't have the cash to help them, resulting in the PM appealing on TV for Thais to send their own money to help, instead of using the government's budget to more weapons.

holy cow cm Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 CM has had very little rain so this is believable for the population and agricultural sector here. But who are they going to restrict? The citizens and population who live here or the growers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabarin Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I notice water outage very often since last year, even during raining season, the pressure is less too. First suspected a technical issue or maintenance but that was not the case. Wonder how bad it is going to be then, as raining season just finished more or less. Lucky to at least have a 1000L reserve tank with pump, have neighbours without that could not even use the toilet for almost an entire day sometimes.
