Je suis desolee, je ne me sens pas de traduire pour vous :chaipas:

Diversion shceme to feed international estates.

Water diversion from the Stung Num watershed in Cambodia has been listed as a potential solution to water shortage problems faced by industrial estates in Thailand'eastern provinces, according to the Department of water resources.
According to the project's feasibility study, recently revealed by the department, some 200 km of pipeline will be constructed at a cost of 30 billion baht linking the proposed Stung Num dam in Cambodia to Prasae reservoir un the Thai eastern Province of Rayong.
However, department chief Siripong Hungspreug said that because of its large scale and high investment cost, it would take a long time and more study before the project would materialise.
In the mean time, relevant agencies have come up with plans to supply water to the water-starved industrial estates, which would be safe from water crisis for at least four years, Mr Siripong said.
These include plans to divert water form the Bang Pakong and Pasak rivers to reservoirs in Rayong and Chon Buri provinces.
"Moreover, as far as I know, no new factories will be be built in the area as the government is looking for another place to accomodate new factories, so water shortages may not pose a big problem (for the industrial estates in the eastern provinces), " he said.
The Stung Num water diversion project was dusted off in 2005 when the eastern provinces, which are home to several petrochemical factories, faced a severe water crisis. Officials had to divert water from many rivers and reservoirs to feed industry, causing serious conflict among water users in the area.
In 1992, Thailand and Cambodia agreed in principle to develop a hydropower plant at Stung Num, which will see around 546 million cubic meters of water diverted from the Stung Num watershed yearly to generate electricity at a power plant, to be set up in Thailand's Trat province.
The water will be divered to the power plant then will be piped to Prasae reservoir to feed industrial and farming activities.
According to the feasibility study report, water consumption by the industrial sector in the eastern region will increase from 295 million cubic metres this year to almost 600 million cubic metres in three decades.
Mr Siripong, however, said the proposed transboundary water diversion plan will be the last option to provide water to the industrial sector. It will be adopted only after the government is certain the project will be worth the investment cost, he added.
Praphant Asava-aree, managing director of Eastern Water Resources Development and Management, a major supplier for industrial operators in the eastern region, said diverting water from the neighbouring country must be carefully considered since the cost will be high.
"Moreover, we can say that there are still sufficient water resources for both the agricultural and industrial sectors. We even have enough water for the third phase of petrochemical industry in Rayong, if approved, which require an additional 40 million cubic metres of water per year," Mr Praphant said.
