Thai farmers fear water woes from planned LNG plant

Farmers in Thailand are increasingly worried about water shortages due to a proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant. Suphut Hom Chunthit and his wife rely on nearby canals for irrigation for their durian trees, and they're concerned that the plant will divert water away from their fields. This development highlights the tension between industrial projects and agricultural communities, especially in regions where water resources are already strained. The potential environmental and economic impacts on local farmers underscore the need for careful planning and sustainable resource management.
