webfact Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Twenty provinces hit by drought seek urgent assistance By The Nation Twenty provinces have asked the government for urgent disaster support due to the drought, the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM) said. These provinces are: Chiang Rai, Nan, Nakhon Phanom, Maha Sarakham, Bueng Kan, Nong Khai, Buri Ram, Kalasin, Kanchanaburi, Chachoengsao, Phetchabun, Uthai Thani, Nakhon Ratchasima, Uttaradit, Chai Nat, Nakhon Sawan, Suphan Buri, Sukhothai, Phayao and Sakon Nakhon. Some 98 districts, 541 sub-districts, 4,600 villages are in need of assistance. The DDPM said it has organised water trucks to distribute water to alleviate the suffering of people. It is determining water distribution points so that it can reach people in all areas. It has also requested cooperation from the public to use water conservatively. People who are suffering from the drought can call for help via 1784, 24 hours, to receive urgent assistance.

Close Sakon Nakhon town there is a huge natural lake and I'm sure farmers close that lake are growing two to three crops of rice per year and this year will be no different from the others. Perhaps the governors should send their troops to verify that the car wash companies are closing; thus it would save thousands of m3 of water per day. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope that the one I use in Klong Lan is open by the end of June. My pickup gets a washtwice a year and the last wash was in December 2019.

Maybe change the department name to the Department of Disaster Response or Not (DDRN). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure you will be able to back up that ridiculous statement? facts, figures, dam levels before and after Songkran will suffice? Or do you just have an urge to change history 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
