BANGKOK, Jan 27 (TNA) – Thailand and Myanmar will conduct
a joint water management research of two tributaries of the Mekong River.
Somkiat Prajamwong, Director of Thailand’s Office of Natural
Water Resources (ONWR), said on Monday the research on the Sai River and the
Ruak River would be conducted by Mae Fah Luang University.
Water management experts were seeking to address concerns
about drought and flood along the two waterways, on which millions depend for
their livelihoods, he said.
New technologies would be used to find sustainable solutions
to the problems that caused economic hardship and disruptions to people’s
livelihood, Somkiat said. (TNA)
