Floods and drought threaten Thailand crops
31st January 2012 |
Some areas in Thailand are suffering from drought, while other areas are still reeling from last years floods that destroyed its rice crops.
Experts warn of another heavy wet season, and the government is being critisised for not doing enough to release water from the hydro-power stations to help the disaster stricken areas.
Water management has long been a problem in Thailand. The government has announced a plan to try to prevent another disaster, but with early rains forecast, it may be another difficult year for all concerned.
