The cabinet Tuesday approved a water development plan for the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) and infrastructure projects in the eastern region worth 33.5 billion baht for fiscal 2018. The scheme is intended to ensure smooth water supply to investment projects in the EEC. The region can currently supply 427 million cubic metres. The infrastructure development plan will come in three phases: urgent, intermediate and long-term. Of the total EEC infrastructure investment, government spending will account for 30%, with public-private partnerships making up 59%, state-owned enterprises 10% and the Royal Thai Army 1%.
