Section: General News - Suphan Buri and Nakhon Si Thammarat are the latest provinces to face water shortages, which have occurred much sooner than anticipated this year, The Nation reports.

Water shortages typically occur in late March or in April, but several provincial administrations, including those in Suphan Buri, Phrae and Nakhon Si Thammarat, have already reported problems.

Thongthos Nokchan, chief of irrigation and maintenance at the Krasiew Dam in Suphan Buri's Dan Chang district, said the water level in the dam had become too low following weeks of inadequate rainfall.

The dam usually holds about 200 million cubic metres of water. Only 39 million cubic metres currently remain.

"The water level in the dam has reached crisis level now," Thongthos said.

Suphan Buri governor Songpol Thimasat said farmers in the province were ordered not to plant their second crops of rice because there would not be enough water for their fields.
