rooster59 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Brackish tap water threatens flora it Government House compound Photo from Office of the National Water Resources Brackish tap water, caused by the intrusion of seawater into the Chao Phraya River, is threatening some of the flora in the compound of Government House, prompting officials to seek help from the Agriculture Department. Government House officials said that several small trees, such as Lamduan, Chor Sumalee, Rachavadi, Nom Maew and Hom Muenlee, are vulnerable to the salinity of brackish tap water, which is used to water the gardens there. They said that, although the saline level was only 400 mg/litre, which is still within the 1,000 mg/litre standard, some of the plants could not tolerate it.

The STDs were common already hehe. You do forget the increased amounts of pesticide usage on every day food (often up to 200% over the max limits). So basically bad air, water and food but a more stable alcohol percentage in Chang beers at least. Edited January 18, 2020 by ChaiyaTH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
