Captain Mark" calls on the Prime Minister to use the sufficiency economy principle to sustainably solve the flood crisis.Pol. Lt. Col. Wattanarak Amnarksondet, Vice Chairman of the Special Committee on the Consideration of the Draft Clean Air Management Act B.E. …, spoke about the necessity of sustainable water management, calling on the government under the leadership of Ms. Paethongtarn Shinawatra, Prime Minister, to apply the concept of 'sufficiency' as initiated by His Majesty King Rama IX to solve the flooding problem, along with proactive measures to cope with the increasingly severe climate change.Pol. Lt. Col. Wattanarak mentioned the United Nations report that showed that global warming is disrupting the world's water cycle. Higher temperatures are increasing evaporation, causing more severe storms and causing heavy rain and flooding in many areas around the world, including Thailand. In her policy statement to parliament on September 12, Ms. Paethongtarn emphasized the importance of long-term w ater management by increasing the potential of water storage areas, expanding irrigation areas, and developing water distribution systems to solve flooding and drought problems, which is part of the policy that the Pheu Thai Party campaigned on, saying "There must be no flooding, no drought, and people must have drinking water and water to use all year round."Pol. Lt. Col. Wattanarak also pointed out the importance of using royal initiative projects such as the Kaem Ling project to manage floods, and suggested that the government consider the Netherlands' 'Delta Works' system, which is the best flood prevention system in the world, using dams, floodgates, embankments, and pumping stations, which effectively prevent floods. If the Netherlands, a country lower inland, can still manage flooding, Thailand, which has a higher area, can also solve flooding problems.Source: Thai News Agency
