Water solutions on agenda in Davos
Play
Bangkok Governor MR Sukhumbhand Paribatra will be addressing the challenges of water management at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2012 in Davos, Switzerland.
The meeting runs from today until Friday.
“The topic will cover geographical landscape, volume and other issues related to water and how they have an impact on economy,” Sukhumbhand said yesterday. “It will also address waste-water management.”
After Bangkok suffered a serious flood crisis late last year, the government has decided to earmark large amounts on flood prevention projects. “I have assigned a subcommittee on water management to find out how best this money can be used,” the governor said yesterday.
