Why it matters
The failure of the test means that hundreds of families in Khlong Chan must cover cleanup costs entirely on their own. Government officials maintained that the strict payment criteria must remain transparent and uniform across all areas.
Water quality standards in Northern Thailand are based on guidelines provided by the World Health Organization.
