Wastewater management systems of Thailand (laws and regulations)
Keywords:
Wastewater ManagementAbstract
In Thailand, a number of different agencies regulate different aspects of wastewater management under a variety of laws and regulations. To an outsider it is a bewildering system, and it has been criticized for its lack of coherence and coordination. At the national level, regulatory and enforcement responsibility is principally shared by the National Environment Board, Ministry of National Resources and Environment, Ministry of Industry, and Ministry of Publish Health. These various institutions derive their authority from a variety of environmental laws, such as the Enhancement and Conservation of National Environmental Quality Act, Factory Act, Public Health Act. There is no integrated legal framework for wastewater management, and a coordinated set of regulations has not been developed. In fact, different regulatory institutions have different views of wastewater management system. The paper aims to integrate wastewater management system and legislation in Thailand for oversea investors and researchers who are interested in wastewater management system in Thailand.
