Project Results

Co-management: Get a support from the administration centers to solve smog problem.
Establishment of network/ fund/ new institute: After the end of the project, the community will collect money to do maintenance for solar pumping system.
Concrete outcomes/ achivements: the solar pumping system can reduce the spending about 2,000 baht monthly.
Lesson Learned: In the forestation in 2016, the soil condition is poor. According to this situation, only 10 percent of planted saplings survived. We have to use polymer to absorb water for the saplings. It should takes about 2-3 years for the sampling to be fully grown and able to stand by itself.
