Water management is a recurring problem, no matter whether in the dry or rainy season. In the rainy season, authorities leave too much water in several large reservoirs, so worried are they they will not have enough in the dry season. This annual vicious cycle will keep harming both the economy and livelihoods of people unless government agencies involved step away from handling water management as "business as usual". Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha promised a national water management unit in August, but the public has been informed very little about it. Providing other new solutions to water storage can help ease their plight in the rainy season while providing benefits in the dry season.
