Irrigation

With the help of the Department of Natural Resources, RSC helped our cane farmers to reliable sources of water through digging and establishing new artesian wells. Co-operations with the Department of Irrigation helped us clean and improve the natural canals for greater efficiency as well as promoting private pools for agricultural uses.

During the year 2000, together with our cane farmers project at Auphur Suan Peung and the Department of Irrigation, Rajburi Sugar started a new irrigation named "Norng Punchan Project" to build a new local irrigation system and developed an efficient water management system for canes-growing usage.

This co-operative effort, covering over 630 acres and 147 cane farmers, was approved by the Department of Irrigation and received a funding totaled 96 million Baht from the Asian Development Bank (ADB). This project, scheduled to be complete in 2004, is a pilot project in using pipes network for irrigation for sugar canes in Thailand.
