Udon Thani Wetland Conservation Project Progresses
The Department of Water Resources is conducting feasibility studies for the conservation and restoration of the Nong Han Kumphawapi wetland in Udon Thani.
On October 1, 2026, officials from the Department of Water Resources visited Udon Thani province to monitor the progress of a feasibility study and design project for the Nong Han Kumphawapi wetland. The initiative aims to preserve and restore the local ecosystem and natural resources.
As part of the project, the department held its sixth and seventh small-group meetings at the Prachak Sinlapakhom District Office and the Kumphawapi Subdistrict Municipality. These sessions involved local leaders, community representatives, and residents to gather public feedback regarding the wetland's management.
Consultants presented findings from their initial surveys, which covered water and soil quality testing, hydrological analysis, watershed management, local livestock practices, and current land use around the wetland.
For residents and visitors, this project is significant as it focuses on the long-term environmental health of a major regional landmark. While the study is currently underway, the final outcomes regarding specific land-use regulations or future conservation restrictions remain to be confirmed. The department continues to collect community input to ensure that the restoration plans align with local needs and sustainable practices.
