The Prime Minister joins the campaign to save water during the dry season. Advises Bangkokians to solve the problem of brackish tap water by boiling it before consumption. Contrary to information from academics who argue that The more water is boiled, the saltier it becomes. More dangerous to health The Royal Irrigation Department (RID) revealed that it is preparing to release more water from the Chao Phraya Dam. Push the sea level up during 13 - 14 January. On January 7, Prime Minister Gen. Prayut Chan-o-cha presided over a public relations activity to promote water conservation during the drought crisis. at Government House The Prime Minister urged the Ministry of Interior to speed up understanding of the water shortage problem. And tap water in Bangkok has a brackish taste. and recognize that the government is rushing to solve the problem
Tap water in the Phra Nakhon side has a brackish taste at times due to Industry Email List the heavy salt water encroachment situation during this dry season / Environmental News Agency / Nicha Wechapanich General Prayut invited the people to participate in solving these problems by saving water use, stating that if each person helps save water for 1 minute a day, it can help the country save up to 9 times the water. liters and also recommends that people in areas affected by brackish tap water boil tap water to reduce salinity before consumption. However, Asst. Prof. Dr. Jesada Denduangboriphan From the Faculty of Science Chulalongkorn University Give information that contradicts that Boiling tap water cannot reduce salinity as the Prime Minister has recommended. But it will make the boiled water have a higher salinity than before. “In terms of elementary school science about water If we boil water, a reaction called “evaporation” will occur, causing the amount of water to decrease.
But the salinity created by the salt precipitate does not evaporate. Instead of reducing salinity Instead, it causes the water to have a higher concentration of salt. Because the amount of water has decreased but the amount of salt is the same. Therefore, when drinking boiled water The more you get, the more salt you get. compared to the mass of water consumed This may be dangerous for at-risk groups of sick people,” Asst. Prof. Dr. Jesada said. Asst. Prof. Dr. Jesada recommends the correct way to reduce the salinity of tap water before consumption. That is, the water must be filtered through a reverse osmosis (RO) system that can filter out mineral salts from the water. Currently, some brands of water filters installed in households can filter water to a quality and taste similar to bottled water. Meanwhile, Thongplew Kongchan, Director-General of the Royal Irrigation Department, said that the reason why tap water has a brackish taste It is caused by sea water rising into the river causing the salinity.
