The Provincial Waterworks Authority (PWA) is gearing up to tackle the potential dry spell during the upcoming rainy season, particularly from mid-June to July 2023.
The Provincial Waterworks Authority (PWA) is taking measures to prevent seawater intrusion into raw water sources and to monitor water quality. The PWA is working with the Royal Irrigation Department and local agencies to ensure that tap water production is not affected and is safe for consumption.
The Provincial Waterworks Authority (PWA) has announced it is joining forces with the Royal Thai Army, Department of Groundwater Resources, Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA), and PTT Public Company Limited, to launch the “2023 Public-Private Drought Alleviation Project”. The objective of the project is to provide free tap water at 234 PWA branches to support drought sufferers and others in need of drinking water in various communities and remote areas. Included in the project is the provision of water storage tanks to 28 communities to fight drought across the country.
The Provincial Waterworks Authority (PWA) recently accompanied Deputy Prime Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan to monitor the water situation in Nakhon Pathom and Ratchaburi provinces and report on progress of the water supply system development plan for Nakhon Pathom, Ratchaburi, Samut Sakhon, and Samut Songkhram in response to rapid expansion of Western Bangkok.
