The Ca Mau study that the program released on Tuesday indicates that the impacts of storms and sea-level rise (SLR) will likely pose serious threats, and that current management initiatives are insufficient to meet this emerging risk. Therefore, the study proposes integrated water management strategies including hydraulic works to control the volume, quality and movement of water within enclosed areas, and consideration of climate change in planning future agriculture and aquaculture development.
The study also recommends provincial planners to maintain or restore dunes, wetlands, and coastal forests as a way to buffer against storm surges, improve water quality, and regulate water flow. Tuesday also saw the program releasing a study on the impact of climate change on Thailand’s province of Krabi, where a shorter rainy season leading to water scarcity is seen as among the major challenges for the future…
