Senior executives from both the public and private sectors participated in the training to develop new leaders with comprehensive knowledge, understanding, and skills in water resource management to sustainably address the country's water challenges.

Dr. Chanapoom Phumi, Vice Chairman of the Federation of Thai Industries (FTI) and President of the Institute of Water and Sustainable Environmental Management, emphasized the importance of developing leaders at all levels who possess the knowledge, skills, and vision necessary to address water issues comprehensively, both in terms of policy, technology, and collaboration across all sectors.

“Although Thailand has considerable experience in water management, new challenges arising from climate change, increasing water demand, and structural limitations remain critical issues that require new leaders who are ready to adapt, see the big picture, and foster cooperation at all levels for a sustainable future,” Dr. Chanapoom stated.

This program is organized in cooperation with the Institute of Water and Sustainable Environmental Management of the Federation of Thai Industries and 9 partner agencies involved in water management, including the Eastern Economic Corridor Policy Office (EECO), the Water Resources Information Center (Public Organization), the Meteorological Department, the Royal Irrigation Department, the Department of Water Resources, the Department of Groundwater Resources, the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand, the Thai Industrial Estates Association and partners, and the Pollution Control Department, along with support from the Office of National Water Resources (ONWR), the Department of Industrial Works, and leading private sector partners who will share knowledge, technology, and real experiences throughout the course.
