Relief is just a toilet boat away

The Royal Irrigation Department said today it will provide flood victims on the suburban Bangkok island of Koh Kret with two toilet boats starting tomorrow.

 

Agriculture and Cooperatives Deputy Minister Rungreung Isarangkul Na Ayutthaya will personally take the boats up to the Nonthaburi province island, which has been inundated with Chao Phraya River flooding for the past week.

 

The toilet boats will be anchored near Wat Chalerm Prakiat and the Koh Kret ferry landing.

 

The boats have an onboard system that treats waste and wastewater before releasing it back into the river. They were invented and first used in 1995, when Wat Rongnam Sawettachat and Rongnam Bang-Or communities in Bangkok were flooded heavily.
