Island only has enough supplies to last 30 days
SURAT THANI: Koh Samui is facing a shortage of freshwater due to a lack of rainfall and increased water demand.
These factors have drastically reduced water levels in many water bodies on the resort island, including the Phru Na Muang and Phru Krajud reservoirs and the Hin Lard waterfall, affecting the volume of freshwater needed to produce clean water.
The island only has enough local freshwater supplies for residents for just 30 days.
The shortage has also affected tourism businesses on the island.
