CHAIYAPHUM, 9 July 2015, The Chaiyaphum provincial administration office has been providing disaster relief to Nong Bua Daeng district, which is suffering from the ongoing drought crisis.
Officials have been drilling for more groundwater and transporting water to replenish dried-up wells to help locals cope with the water shortage.
The extended dry season has diminished resources for tap water production in Nong Bua Daeng over the past two months. The lack of rain has also intensified the damage, underlining the need for more wells.
The new wells and replenished water storage should be enough for tap water production until the rainy season arrives.
The province reported that six wells were recently dug, and has asked the public to use water sparingly.
