Mr. Prapit Chanma, director-general of the Royal Irrigation Department, revealed that now there is concern to farmers who have farmed during the dry season. After the latest results, there are 4.87 million rai of cultivation nationwide in 2020/64, exceeding the plan, more than 2.97 million rai or 156.80 percent of the cultivation plan established 1.9 million rai, especially in the 22 provinces of the Chao Phraya River Basin. 2.786 million rai from which had not been set to have a field in the dry season at all. Because the amount of water cost is insufficient
The Royal Irrigation Department does not have water costs to support farming. Farmers have to use their own water and natural water sources in the area. Due to the limited water situation and over-planned farming As a result, there is a risk that may damage rice fields in 45 provinces across the country. With a farming area of 3.621 million rai, only in 4 provinces: Ayutthaya, Nonthaburi, Pathum Thani and Nakhon Si Thammarat There are 3.075 million rai of rice cultivation.
In the dry season of the Chao Phraya River Basin in 2020/21, there is an increase in rice cultivation every week.

Because the cost is low Therefore requires strict cooperation Especially the Chao Phraya River Basin That has overgrown plans Due to the water condition, cost is limited The floodgates and connecting buildings maintained by the Local Administration Organization and the Provincial Administrative Organization of Thailand will allow only water for consumption. From time to time Reduce fish culture in cages in the Ping Nan, Chao Phraya River, Noi River, Pasak River, Tha Chin River between October 1, 2020 – April 30, 2021, ”said Mr. Prapit.
