ONWR seeks measures for dry season
A national water management panel wants the Agriculture and Agricultural Cooperatives Ministry to draw up measures to accommodate the annual rice crop without affecting the water disbursement plan for the 2019-2020 dry season.
Somkiat Prajamwong, chief of the Office of National Water Resources (ONWR), said the measures are necessary for some 1.27 million rai of farms, after the water-management plan for this rainy season did not go as planned as farmers consumed about 1.35 billion cubic metres of water.
