The cabinet approved a 7.2 billion baht Klong Wang Tanot reservoir in Chanthaburi, run by the Royal Irrigation Department over 7 fiscal years (2027-2033). It holds 99.5 million cubic metres and can supply about 87,700 rai of irrigated land for households, farms and industry. It is one of 38 water projects backing EEC development. For an SME, this is a long-term gain in eastern water supply, not a near-term change. Nothing needs action now, though firms in Chanthaburi and the eastern EEC zone may want to track it for future water costs and supply planning. The project must get legal permits for forest and national park land before construction starts.
