SCGC Launches Watershed Conservation Model in Rayong
SCGC has partnered with local communities and the Hydro-Informatics Institute to implement a new water management model covering 28,000 rai of the Khao Yai Da watershed.
According to a report by Prachachat Business, SCGC (SCG Chemicals) has initiated a collaborative project to strengthen water resilience in the Khao Yai Da watershed area, located in Rayong province. The project, developed in partnership with the Ban Mab Chan and Ban Hua Thung communities and the Hydro-Informatics Institute (HII), utilizes a strategy referred to as the '2 Build, 2 Store' model.
This initiative aims to protect and manage water resources across a 28,000-rai area. By focusing on community-level water management, the project seeks to create a more sustainable environment for the local ecosystem and the surrounding population.
For residents and visitors to the Rayong region, this development highlights ongoing efforts to preserve the natural landscape and ensure long-term water security in the area. Such conservation projects are vital for maintaining the ecological health of the province, which is a popular destination for its natural attractions.
While the framework for the '2 Build, 2 Store' model has been established, further details regarding the specific long-term metrics for success and the timeline for the next phases of implementation remain to be confirmed. The project underscores a growing trend of corporate-community cooperation in managing Thailand's vital natural resources.
