Director-General of the Department of Groundwater, Self-Guaranteed, Drinking, Mineral Water Show, Soda reveals more minerals than foreign ones Preparing to drill 3 more ponds, indicating the nearby land, the price starts to rise
Follow the news, press follow line fresh news
On February 15, 64 at the Department of Groundwater Resources (DDS), Mr. Sakda Wichianasilp, Director-General of the Department of Groundwater Resources Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment (TSR) announced the discovery of a new groundwater source in the redundant area, Huai Krachao Sub-district, Huai Krachao District, Kanchanaburi Province.
Mr Sakda said that groundwater at Huai Krachao Which tastes like soda It is the first in Thailand Nowadays, water is more expensive than oil, even in Bangkok, but sometimes it requires tap water that is salty.

By Gen. Prawit Wongsuwan, Deputy Prime Minister Has ordered Mr. Warawut Silpa-archa, Dept. of Dept. of the Department of Groundwater Resources Explore underground water sources Especially in the Northeast and the North, while the central region has found drought in some areas such as Huai Krachao District, Phanom Thuan District, Kanchanaburi Province, which has been in drought for over ten years. In addition to the needs of the people to use water, the Department of Groundwater therefore surveyed and drilled a total of 3 groundwater wells in the Huai Krachao area.
Mr Sakda further said that pond 1 penetrates 280 meters, water volume 30 cubic meters (cubic meters) / hour, but no fountain, pond no.2, depth 304 meters, water volume 30-50 cubic meters / hour. Approximately 6 meters high and the third pond 224 meters deep, water volume 30-50 cubic meters / hour, about 3 meters high, which is now the results of the inspection and analysis of groundwater have emerged that the groundwater well at Ban Thung Multiply well No. 1 and well 2. Well, wells contain 2,420 milligrams (mg) per liter, and 1,870 mg / l, slightly high fluoride, 1.4 mg / l, and 1.1 mg / l. And high iron content of 10 mg / l and 28 mg / l respectively, no toxic substances in the water.
“As for the news that is afraid that the water will not be edible I went to the area to check by myself, the Department of Groundwater collected the water to check. It was found that the quality of the water contains more minerals than the mineral water that is sold in the market. Better than the German mineral water that costs up to 3,000 baht, but some people have criticized it. Which I must say that the quality of water is a matter of science, can be verified without criticism without using science to reference Otherwise the department The underground resources will lose their reputation, ”said Sakda.
Mr Sakda said that groundwater everywhere Or companies that produce mineral water both in Thailand and abroad When digging finds ground water, it must be brought through the same filter. Because there are some minerals that need to be removed Eating too much is harmful to the body. But some minerals are also excreted by the body. However, the department Prepare to announce the groundwater conservation area by using the Groundwater Act B.E. 2520 to protect the area around For the public to use And solve the problem of illegal drilling of groundwater as well
In addition, it was found that the prices of nearby land prices began to rise. Because it is an area with water Importantly, drilling groundwater at this time This is the first time in 30 years after an attempt to divert more than 80 kilometers of water from the Srinakarin Dam.
Director-General of the Department of Groundwater further stated that the land dispute Since the area overlaps between 2 districts, Huai Krachao District and Bo Phloi District, while we went to survey, there was an official in Huai Krachao district who took away when the fountain was discovered. Groundwater is aimed at drilling wells so that the people can already benefit. Expected at the provincial and district levels should be able to discuss with each other So that brothers and sisters can make use of groundwater thoroughly
“The Department of Groundwater is accelerating the drilling of additional 3 artesian wells in the area, expecting 14 days to complete. If drilling 6 artesian wells, the usable water volume will be 1 million cubic meters / hour. Can help people in Huai Krachao sub-district, 9 villages, 5,000 population, 5,000 rai of agricultural area, which will be developed into one of the largest projects of the Department of Groundwater Resources as well. ”Director-General of the Department of Groundwater
Mr. Kriengsak Phirarai, director of the Bureau of Groundwater Survey and Evaluation, revealed that the nature of the Huai Krachao soda fountain Due to the area supported by metamorphic rocks Silurian-Devonian era With cracks, water retaining groundwater It rests continuously with the extremely hot granite that causes the temperature to rise (35 ° C). There is also the Ordovician limestone. Which, when the limestone is exposed to heat, it releases carbon dioxide gas to accumulate in the water. Together with the groundwater pressure in the area is higher than that of the terrain The fountain like soda was born
This press conference brought samples of groundwater soda. By allowing the Department’s scientists Groundwater: Filtering groundwater from wells collected from the area. Which is cloudy yellow to filter out the iron solution And the Director-General to try drinking filtered water The water has become cleaner. But still taste a little sweet And no rust smell in any way
