CPRAM Co., Ltd. (Lamphun) conducted a survey of the area surrounding its factory as well as the needs of the communities. It found that the area was experiencing drought while farmers were unable to grow rice in the offseason. Consequently, the “Clean Water for Farmers” project has been implemented since 2019 until now. CPRAM has defined rules and regulations on discharging water from the water tank, which has been treated according to the wastewater standard of the Ministry of Industry Announcement, to farmers in nearby rice fields. This allows farmers in the vicinity to use water for rice cultivation and off-season rice cultivation. As water quality is measured monthly, farmers can rest assure in the quality of water for agriculture. Currently, water is distributed to 11 households, covering an agricultural area of 86 Rai.
