The Water Institution For Sustainability is part of the Council under the Federation of Thai Industries. It was established for water security because of the importance and amount of water being used in society today. Water conflicts in the community and the amount of good water and bad has caused the Federation to consider such issues as part of the initial cost of production. Water is a precious resource and is not available everywhere. The Institute main objective is to focus on water cover all aspects, including industry, farming, tourism and the community in general.

Our goal is to be an innovative organization with well managed, integrated and sustainable water management. The keywords here are innovation and integration. The work undertaken will focus on integration by network with the emphasis on innovation. One of the projects we are to promote is for factories to establish a ‘best practice’ along with ‘new trends.’

The Institute encourages industrial entrepreneurs to enhance their knowledge of water management and to transfer their water management technology to industrial entrepreneurs. We work as a Consultant and Intermediary between both the private and public sectors as well as for educational institutions. This enables the sectors to work as partners in critical water resource management overall.

The Institute has been working with UBM on issues involving the environment and also areas involving water management in general. At Thai Water Expo 2017, we have co-organized important road-shows that will take place prior to the actual show dates. This is in addition to Seminars relating to techniques and technologies in water management through-out the event. There will also be special exhibitions to promote Water Footprint.

On behalf of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, I would like to take this opportunity to express our thanks to UBM Asia (Thailand) the organizer, exhibitors, visitor, and everyone involved in making this outstanding event a mega success.

At present, our planet has been facing the adverse impact of global change especially climate change and degradation of natural resources and environment which have affected our natural resources and mankind as a whole in economic, social, and environmental aspects including water resources. According to the scientific reports, the water resources crisis in the 21st century is much more related to the availability, increased demand and deteriorating water quality as well as unsystematic water resources management. We, therefore, need a systematic and integrated approach for water management at all level. Sustainable Development Goal 16 is to promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions. The integrated water management tool can be one of the most effective forms of confronting the problems of water scarcity, water stress and deteriorating water quality apart from the emphasis on public participation for water resources management conservation and rehabilitation.

“Water is life,” as His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej has declared. Under the leadership of General Prayut Chan-ocha, The Royal Thai Government is well aware of the importance of integrating water resource management in a holistic manner in order to achieve the sustainability of water management. The government put utmost effort to apply the beloved King Rama 9’s philosophy reflected in water resources management to create a balance between socio-economic development and environmental protection.

The government adopted a 12-year water resource management strategy which integrates the work plans and budgets of all concerned agencies in order to avoid redundant project work plans. Formulated Thailand’s 20-Year National Strategy was implemented, as well as a draft Water Act, which will provide a framework for handling all dimensions, quantitatively and qualitatively of water resource management. In fact, Thailand would implement integrated water resource management at three levels. Firstly, water source management will be emphasized on watershed and forests rehabilitation and preventing soil erosion. Secondly, water consumption will be focused on reducing unequal access to water at all sectors and lastly, waste water management. Accordingly, the Thai government has adopted high-efficiency technology for increasing effective water management, maximizing water use, and preventing and reducing risks from water-related disasters. The Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, as important policy driven of the government in the area of water, takes a very serious action to push forward all water policy management to achieve SDGs by using proper knowledge, technologies and mobilizing resources.

Thai Water Expo 2017, a unique and special water-related event in the region, is the perfect venue to explore great opportunities to expedite and encourage sustainable water management in Thailand and ASEAN. The exhibition will provide a wide range of water and waste water technologies along with equipment and consultant services that offer immediate and solutions to water challenges. We hope that all visitors will enjoy and get the most benefit from the Expo more or less. Finally, I wish the Thai Water Expo 2017 a success.
