Environmental Restoration Initiative Launched in Phitsanulok
The Department of Water Resources has participated in a new ecological project in Phitsanulok province aimed at biodiversity restoration and wildfire prevention.
On September 24, 2026, the Department of Water Resources (DWR) announced its involvement in a regional environmental initiative titled 'Restoring Moisture to the Land, Reviving Biodiversity under Climate Change, and Sustainable Wildfire Solutions.' The project was hosted at Nakhon Chum Phitthaya Ratchamangkhalaphisek School, located in the Nakhon Chum sub-district of Nakhon Thai district, Phitsanulok province.
This initiative focuses on addressing the dual challenges of climate change and forest fire management through ecological restoration. By promoting moisture retention in the soil and supporting local biodiversity, the program aims to create a more resilient landscape. For residents and visitors in the Phitsanulok area, this project highlights ongoing efforts to mitigate the environmental impacts of seasonal wildfires, which can occasionally affect air quality and regional accessibility during the dry season.
While the official announcement confirms the participation of the DWR in this specific event, details regarding the long-term implementation schedule and the specific technical methods to be employed across the wider region remain to be confirmed. Those planning travel to rural Phitsanulok are encouraged to monitor local environmental reports, as such initiatives are part of a broader strategy to manage land health in the province. Further updates on the project's progress are expected to be released by the Department of Water Resources as the program develops.
