Bangkok Post : Sanan to push for Kaeng Sua Ten dam
Deputy Prime Minister Sanan Kachornprasart on Friday insisted he will again push for cabinet approval for the construction of the long-delayed Kaeng Sua Ten dam in Phrae province.
Maj-Gen Sanan said this in the House meeting in replying to a question by Samphan Tangbenjapol, a Democrat Party MP for Sukhothai, about the management of water resources in the Yom River basin which encompasses Phrae, Sukhothai, Phitsanulok, Phichit and Nakhon Sawan provinces which have suffered from severe drought and flooding.
The question was directed to Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, who assigned Maj-Gen Sanan to reply on his behalf.
Maj-Gen Sanan said that according to Mahidol University's research on development of water resources in that area the problems of drought and flooding can be solved with either Kaeng Sua Ten or Yom River dam.
By comparison, Kaeng Sua Ten is more viable in terms of engineering and costs, he said.
Maj-Gen Sanan said he would push for the Kaeng Sua Ten dam project, which has been delayed for nearly 20 years, and hopes for cabinet approval within the term of this government.
