The Department of Water Resources has initiated water quality assessments at key stations along the Mun and Mekong rivers in Ubon Ratchathani province.
On October 20, 2026, the Department of Water Resources (DWR) announced that its Hydrology Division has been actively monitoring water quality at specific locations in Ubon Ratchathani province. According to the official report, assessments are currently being conducted at the Ban Bua Thoeng station on the Mun River in Sawang Wirawong district, as well as at the Khemmarat and Lat Charoen stations along the Mekong River in Khemmarat district.
For residents and travelers in the region, these monitoring efforts are part of routine hydrological oversight aimed at maintaining environmental standards. While the DWR has confirmed the ongoing nature of these inspections, the specific data regarding current water quality levels or any potential health advisories resulting from these tests have not yet been released.
