CHIANG MAI, June 29 (TNA) – Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha inspected a project to raise water in the reservoir of the Mae Kuang Udom Thara dam to solve water shortage and flooding.
In his trip to the northern province today, the prime minister first visited the Mae Taman weir project in Mae Taeng district. It was designed to improve water distribution to farmland, communities and urban areas and to increase water in the reservoir of the Mae Kuang Udom Thara dam in Doi Saket district.
