Some researchers are backing the idea of creating a new area out of filling water places of about 300, 000 ray from Samut Prakan’s tambon Pak Nam of Muang area to the mouth of the Tha Chin River in Samut Sakhon.
The proposed property restoration project will also serve as a crucial tool in preventing Bangkok from being submerged by rainwater and halting the worsening coastal erosion in Bangkok’s Bang Khunthian area, which is located between Samut Prakan and Samut Sakhon.
Former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra discussed the waste plan during his well-known breakfast speech Vision for Thailand 2024, which included the proposal among the administration’s plans for the future.
Serious have
Among those who applaud the plan, Suchatvee Suwansawat claims that it should have been put into use a long time.
” It’s a good indication that such a significant number in the country considers this a significant issue,” he said. People working to prevent flooding and other issues brought new hope to Bangkok by the land reclamation plan.
Mr Suchatvee, a civil engineering professional, is a former chairman of King Mongkut’s Institute of Technology Ladkrabang and head of the Engineering Institute of Thailand. He is currently the Democrat Party’s assistant leader.
The president’s top priority is the improvement of the business, while the fight to protect Bangkok from a worsening storm condition is equally crucial and deserves to be recognized as a focus, he said.
Everyone should have given global warming and how it causes flood, he said, long ago. ” The open and not just specialists should be well aware of the effects of global warming.”
Technically speaking, Mr. Suchatvee said that it is possible to fill Bang Khunthian’s coastal areas and the surrounding seas, which could result in more habitable land being added to the area.
The city was unable to wait for the steady natural deposited sediments that had been proposed to build groynes parallel to Bang Khunthian’s coast. That would never stay up with the speed of southern degradation, he said.
The government of Bangkok and the prime minister should take this restoration significantly because it ought to have been put into practice long ago. More than 2 miles of southern area have been eroded already”, he said.
He claimed that he had heard nothing of the suggestion from City Hall before.
Even though bamboo sticks are n’t strong enough for this purpose, he claimed, bamboo sticks have been made into building barriers. After being placed in, this willow typically turns into water waste in one to two years.
Even though the Metropolitan Electricity Authority had previously donated concrete power posts to the BMA for use in breakwaters, he claimed, they were n’t the best option even though they were more sturdy than bamboo. Neither was growing more marshes, he said.
In addition to the southern degradation problem, water intrusion has become a major problem to certain sections of Bangkok, including Bang Kholaem, Silom, Sathon and Phra Nakhon, he said.
Families in these areas occasionally find their tap water to be rather brackish, he claimed, which demonstrates the difficulty of water intrusion.
Instructions from Singapore
Asst Prof Thon Thamrongnawasawat, assistant dean of the Faculty of Fish at Kasetsart University, likewise backed the restoration plan. He said if the environment may be protected, the plan may work out.
According to Asst Prof Thon, a marine environment professional, Singapore has adopted for a design and plans to construct a new long peninsula to equal a road leading to its airport, named Long Beach.
” However, it ca n’t be implemented completely even in five or 10 years because a substantial budget and really strong commitment are needed”, he said.
A budget must be secured in order to fund the inclusion of an efficient climate protection system if Bangkok was to follow the same design as Singapore’s.
The installation of an environment protection system is necessary, he claimed, even though the project’s complete costs could increase by 3 to 10 %.
If the job is n’t implemented with a critical environment protection program, new issues will arise, and marine life that normally exists on seashore areas will disappear.
The important issue is,” Would the government be committed to investing that much to make it happen”? he said. ” Usually, when the budget is limited in such a project, the part of the budget for funding environment safety is the first to be slashed”.
After more than 2,700 ray of southern land were lost to erosion, the BMA recently announced it was speeding up a project to build a water dyke to defend Bang Khunthian’s 47 km coast from further erosion. An environmental impact assessment is being conducted for the project.
