Thailand is experiencing its worst dry spell in ten years, and provinces in the north and northeast have been hit hard. Production of rice and rubber \u2013 both key export crops \u2013\u00a0has plummeted, adding to the country\u2019s existing economic woes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cTo pump water from the Mekong seems rational not only in terms of real need, but for political reasons,\u201d said Pavin Chachavalpongpun, associate professor at Kyoto University\u2019s Centre of Southeast Asian Studies.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td>\n<p><strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-3422\" src=\"http:\/\/wpdemo.fact.org.kh\/wpdemo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/559CE796-300x197.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"200\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>  <!--more-->  <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The current military-led government has been criticised for being unable to solve many issues, and the latest is the drought, Chachavalpongpun said. \u201cThe junta doesn\u2019t work well with Thai farmers, so to prevent further anger from them, the junta may find extracting water from the Mekong is a politically useful solution,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Pumping water from the Mekong into Thailand\u2019s drought-affected areas is nothing new, explained Philip Hirsch, professor of human geography at the University of Sydney. \u201cEvery time there is a drought in Thailand this issue comes up,\u201d he said. \u201cIt has taken various forms over the years \u2013 Green Isan in the 1980s, the Khong Chi Mun project in the 1990s, Water Grid in the 2000s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These projects were based on the idea of diverting water from the Mekong into the upper Chi and Mun river system, but Hirsch said the current scheme is based more on retaining water in large basins in provinces adjoining the Mekong. This would be supplemented by water pumped under the Mekong from the Nam Ngum tributary in Laos.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis [is], in part, a move to make it a bilateral issue between Thailand and Laos rather than a multilateral issue involving all four members of the Mekong River Commission,\u201d he said, \u201cbut the effect on downstream countries would be the same.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If large-scale pumping from the Mekong continues, said Hirsch, it would be a dangerous threat to the dry-season water security of Cambodia and Vietnam, since the scheme is primarily geared toward dry-season extraction. \u201cAgriculture and other water users in the Mekong Delta depend on dry-season flows both for their own water availability and to keep saline intrusion at bay,\u201d he continued. \u201cSo any reduction in flows resulting from upstream extraction would create big problems for downstream users.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.phnompenhpost.com\/national\/mekong-diversion-under-way-thailand\" target=\"_blank\">Bangkok Post<\/a><\/em> noted that the Royal Irrigation Department said it was \u201cusing\u201d water from the Mekong as opposed to \u201cdiverting\u201d it. Any diversion of water from the river would have required prior consultation with the Mekong River Commission (MRC), the international body that works with Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam on the Mekong\u2019s management.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhatever the term they use, it\u2019s a bad project and it will affect millions of people living along the Mekong,\u201d said Senglong Youk, programme manager for the Fisheries Action Coalition Team, a Cambodian NGO. \u201cThe river is the common property of all the Mekong\u2019s people, not just Thais or Laotians. There has to be a wider public consultation among Mekong country members.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThe Thai government has to listen to the public,\u201d said Youk. \u201cEven Thai people do not support the project. I also don\u2019t believe in the MRC mechanism, as there have been a lot of failures in good governance of water management made by MRC. Public consultation and comprehensive studies, for example environmental impact assessments, are vital.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thailand\u2019s move comes as Laos continues construction of the controversial Don Sahong Dam on the Mekong, situated downstream from the Thai pumping activity. The dam project has been widely criticised, with NGO International Rivers considering it a \u201cdisaster\u201d for fish stocks in Vietnam and Cambodia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>This article was updated on\u00a0January 27, 2016<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/sea-globe.com\/thais-turn-on-mekong-river-pumps-without-consulting-regional-partners\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Source: http:\/\/sea-globe.com\/thais-turn-on-mekong-river-pumps-without-consulting-regional-partners\/<\/strong><\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Thailand hopes to help its drought-affected farmers by \u201cusing\u201d water from the Mekong, but those downstream may be adversely affected Thailand has begun pumping water from the Mekong River into drought-affected areas in the northeast of the country in a move that could have severe impacts for countries downstream.
