Thailand's Water Security situation in the context of the world and ASEAN

摘要

This study showed the status of water security of Thailand compared with the rest of the world. Thailand has strengths of clean water and sanitation water accessibility arising from the development investment in the past. However, the water use status regarding renewable freshwater and the agricultural sector, i.e. low efficiency, high water footprint, low productivity, seemed to be a weakness compared with other countries. There are potential demands for industrial water and water for energy, thus, the restructuring of the present water use structure is needed to cope with future water demand increase.
