Thai water mark

Article Abstract:

Thailand's rivers are continuously becoming polluted because of rapid developments in the community and the commercial and industrial sectors of the country. Economic growth adversely affected the country's environment, thereby prompting Pollution Control Dept (PCD) of the Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment (MOSTE) to work the on the project concerning river pollution. Some of the Central Basin Project's goals are to develop a water quality improvement policy, to create a pollution sources database and to make wastewater management action plans.
