The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment is helping people get through this.
During the drought crisis on January 15-16, 2026, the Water Resources Office Region 9 installed a 10-inch water pump at Ban Don Mun, Village No. 4, Tambon Rong Khem, Amphoe Rong Kwang, Phrae Province. The pump drew water from the Mae Kham Mi River into a public canal to assist residents with domestic, agricultural, and household use. Approximately 270 households (1000 people) and 346 rai of agricultural land benefited from this assistance.
