Supporting the Well-being of the Community and Society
We support the Utokapat Foundation under the royal patronage of H.M. the King in the management of community water resources following the royal initiative, a project which is now into the ninth consecutive year. This also includes educating successful water management techniques which enable the communities to manage their water resources effectively by themselves. This effort through the years has resulted in a significant increase in the amount of water storage and supply to local agricultural plots targeted. The Foundation has also equipped the communities with the capability to better cope with the impacts of climate change now and in the future. The project has created more than 70 model communities, helped to alleviate flooding and drought problems for 124,349 households covering 1,125,511 rai (180,081.76 hectares) of agricultural land, increased water reserves by over 29 million cubic meters, and created value of up to 6.34 million baht for 843 households from agriculture production during the dry season.
In 2021, we joined with the Bualuang Foundation and Utokapat Foundation in the project Bualuang Joins the Community to Solve Drought for the second consecutive year as we recognize that sustainable water management will help communities to have a better quality of life and adequate supply of clean water for consumption and agriculture, while helping to alleviate flooding and drought problems. The project has strengthened the communities’ ability to manage water resources by themselves in line with the royal initiative. Covering 13 communities in nine provinces from four regions, this project provided for infrastructures required such as weirs, ponds, or reservoirs, pumping systems with solar cells and floodgates, while building a network to expand the results to more areas.
