Less Rain - less reserve water in reservoir

from http://www.thaisnews.com/news_detail.php?newsid=139279 for
Andaman News TV11 & FM90.5 Phuket 8.30am Thursday 11August 2005

A shortage of rainfall is resulting in a lack of water for Phuket island while related agencies are working out solutions.

Revealing the reserved water situation at the main raw water sources of the island, Watchara Apornsiri, the Head of Phuket Irrigation office pointed out that the reservoir water has declined dramatically due to much less rainfall. According to Mr. Watchara, there is 0.64 million cubic metres in reserve of which only 0.300 million can be used accounting for 15 days consumption or up to the 23rd of August. It is now discussing with the waterworks, and Phuket city office to stop supplying raw water for the office within this month and it has sought help from the Royal Artificial Rain Unit to carry out operations in the area to add more water. It also looking into bringing in water supplies from private water sources, which needs further talks and cooperation.
