THAILAND’S CHAO PHRAYA RIVER BASIN supplies a major metropolitan region. It covers 160,000 square kilometres (km2), representing 30 percent of the country’s total area, and is home to 23 million people. Of these, some 8 million live in the capital city of Bangkok. Unlike Japan and France, however, the country has been slow to adopt a comprehensive approach to reform and legislation. It also cannot afford high-tech solutions to such critical water problems as floods, droughts and pollution.
