Water Quality Monitoring Conducted in Ubon Ratchathani Rivers
The Department of Water Resources has performed water quality assessments at key stations along the Mun and Mekong rivers in Ubon Ratchathani province.
On August 4, 2026, the Department of Water Resources (DWR) announced that its Hydrology Division (Region 11) carried out water quality monitoring operations in Ubon Ratchathani province. The assessments focused on two primary locations: the Mun River at the Ban Bua Thoeng station in Sawang Wirawong district, and the Mekong River at the Khemmarat and Lat Charoen stations in Khemmarat district.
For residents and travelers in the region, these monitoring efforts are part of routine environmental oversight aimed at tracking the health of major waterways. While the DWR has initiated these checks, the specific findings regarding water quality parameters—such as pH levels, dissolved oxygen, or potential contaminants—have not yet been publicly detailed in this report.
It remains to be confirmed whether these tests indicate any deviations from standard water quality benchmarks or if they are strictly part of a scheduled seasonal surveillance program. Those living near or visiting these river areas should monitor official DWR channels for any subsequent updates or advisories that may be issued once the laboratory analysis of the collected samples is finalized. The department continues to oversee these hydrological stations to ensure ongoing data collection for the region's river systems.
