dc.description.abstract | This chapter demonstrates that substantial progress has been made during 1998–2008 in terms of expanding water supply and wastewater treatment services and alleviating flood problems in Bangkok. However, there exists a huge potential for further improvements in water demand management through suitable water pricing, NRW reduction, level of service in terms of water pressure in the distribution lines, wastewater treatment and tariff, and flood-retention ponds, among others. Sustained efforts, appropriate policies and institutions including improved coordination among the entities responsible are indispensable to achieve integrated and efficient urban water management, especially in the light of global changes including changing climate conditions. | en |
