It’s hard to comprehend that a city that essentially was a network of waterways for centuries is reporting water problems.
News from a Bangkok, Thailand Deputy Governor reveals that farmers in the areas of Min Buri, Klong Sam Wa, Nong Chok, and Lat Krabang have been asked to go fishing.
Not literally, but figuratively. Stop working your farms is the message. The facts show that farms around Bangkok need about 8 times as much water than the current infrastructure can provide.
Will we be importing bottled water to nourish the crops? Doubtful, especially as the rainy season moves closer. You haven’t seen rain, until you’ve been caught in an afternoon monsoon.

I’m guessing a water-processing/recycling facility would be in need.
