1.1.1.WATER RESOURCES Thailand can be divided into 7 river basins, but is generally divided into 25 sub-basins. The total surface water resource of the country is 213.35km3/yr. Aquifer recharge from rainfall is estimated at 41.90km3/yr (about 5-6% of the total precipitation). Approximately 30.70km3/yr is estimated to return to the river system (overlap). The total internal water resources of Thailand are therefore estimated at 224.55km3/yr. Thailand shares three major river systems with its neighbours: the Mekong River forms the border with Lao People’s Democratic Republic in the north and east (about 18% of the total Mekong catchment area is located in Thailand), the Salween River is on the north-western border with Myanmar, and the Kolok River is on the southern border with Malaysia. This last river, originating in Thailand and then bordering Thailand and Malaysia, is very short with a total length of just over 100km. The Mekong and Salween rivers constitute an additional external resource for Thailand, which has been estimated at half the discharge of the rivers, but from which the contribution of the country to these rivers has to be deducted. This gives a total of 199.9km3/yr. This is calculated by adding half the Salween discharge (100.0km3/yr, or 200.0 divided by 2) and half the Mekong discharge (162.225km3/yr, or 324.45 divided by 2) and subtracting 8.156km3/yr (contribution of Thailand to Salween in the border reach) and 51.9km3/yr (contribution of Thailand to Mekong in the border reach). By adding the internal and external resources together, the total renewable water resource is estimated at approximately 427km3/yr. Total exploitable water is estimated at 125.98km3/yr, consisting of 75.64km3/yr regular renewable surface water, 27.34km3/yr irregular renewable surface water and 23.00km3/yr regular renewable groundwater.
1.1.2.WATER USE In 2007, total water withdrawal was estimated at 57.3km3, of which 90.4% was for agricultural purposes, 4.8% for municipal use and 4.8% for industrial purposes. In 1990, total water withdrawal was estimated at 33.1km3, of which 91% was for agricultural purposes, 5% for municipal use and 4% for industrial use. Of the total withdrawal of 57.3km3, 82.9% was surface water and 17.1% was groundwater. Wastewater treatment is not common. Industrial wastewater is generally discharged into rivers and canals. About 2,191 million m3 of wastewater was produced in 2003. In 2007, some 523 million m3 of wastewater was treated. Numerous wastewater treatment projects are being developed in the Bangkok metropolitan area. There is no reuse of treated wastewater in Thailand. Total large dam capacity is estimated at 68.28km3 in 2007, which is about 32% of the annual runoff. However, a lot of dams have been over-designed compared with the annual recharge obtainable. There are five dams with a capacity of more than 5km3: Srinagarind (17.75km3), Bhumipol (13.46km3), Sirikit (9.51km3), Vaijiralongkorn (8.86km3) and Rat Cha Prapa (5.64km3).
