Water Resource Management Initiative Launched in Phitsanulok
The Department of Water Resources has initiated a new water user group project in Phitsanulok province to support local irrigation and conservation efforts.
The Department of Water Resources (DWR) has officially launched a project for the 2026 fiscal year focused on establishing and educating water user groups in Phitsanulok province. This initiative is centered on the conservation and restoration project of the Bueng Na Lom, Nong Ta Khe, and Huai Sam Tong areas (Phase 2), located in Ban Na Lom, Ban Dong Subdistrict, Chat Trakan District.
According to the DWR, the program aims to organize local residents into formal water user groups to better manage the newly installed water distribution systems. By providing education and structure to these groups, the department intends to ensure the sustainable use of water resources for the community.
For residents and those interested in local development, this project represents an effort to improve agricultural and domestic water access in the Chat Trakan area. While the establishment of these groups is underway, details regarding the specific operational schedule of the distribution systems and the long-term impact on local water availability remain to be confirmed. The project highlights the government's ongoing commitment to infrastructure maintenance and community-led resource management in rural Thailand.
