As of 10 August 2026, Phuket's three reservoirs hold 12.24 million m³, 55.3% of capacity. Provincial irrigation says there is no impact on tourism or business for now, since it is still the rainy season (rain expected until about November). Water demand is rising with tourism and the hidden population, and the study to add storage is due to finish in 2027. Property developers are being asked to build their own water sources in projects. For a Phuket business, keep an eye on water use in the dry season (December to May), when some reservoir supply to the waterworks is cut off in the rainy season.
