Cabinet approved a 7.2bn baht irrigation dam in Chanthaburi (99.5m cubic metres, 87,700 rai served), run by the Royal Irrigation Department over 7 years (FY2027-2033). It is pitched as water security for the EEC, including future data centre demand. Conservation groups, led by the Seub Nakhasathien Foundation, oppose it over overlap with Khao Sip Ha Chan National Park and the EHIA's accuracy, and have filed a lawsuit at the Administrative Court. For an SME, this is a long-horizon infrastructure item: watch water supply for the eastern industrial zone and possible construction-related demand, but no action is needed now.
