Thais told to brace for more severe weather

Thailand will face severe weather change this year - as winter will be longer, the rainy season will come late and the drought will continue to hit wide farming areas across the country, experts have forecast in a report by Nation Multimedia.

Water distribution experts, meanwhile, have warned of an upcoming conflict over the distribution. They said rice growing had exceeded the limited water-distribution level by 85 per cent and suggested water be used wisely in order to ease the situation.
