【Name of Program】JFY2010 Technical support incidental to the Bangkok Water Supply Improvement Project
【Outline】
In November 2008, Japan received a request for loan assistance for “The 8th Bangkok Water Supply Improvement Project,” which mainly aimed at expanding purification plants and laying distribution mains. As the investigation on this matter revealed, however, reducing the water loss rate proved to have an effect to the same extent as the aforementioned facility expansion; therefore, cutting water leaks became a task of pressing urgency. Apart from taking measures against water leaks, support in other areas, including distribution management, pipeline design, and purification, turned out to be necessary to make better use of this loan assistance through the consultation with MWA. In cooperation with the JICA, it was decided that the Tokyo Metropolitan Waterworks Bureau would be in charge of and provide technical assistance for measures against non-revenue water, with Nagoya City Waterworks & Sewerage Bureau covering distribution management, and Osaka Prefectural Government, Department of Water Works, covering water treatment and conveyance.
