Earlier in June, K-water had been selected by the Thai government as the preferred negotiating partner for a 6.2-trillion-won project to build drainage channels and cisterns. Afterward, however, the nation's central administrative court ordered that the government hold public hearings before to take into account environmental impact and other adverse consequences of the project.
It is expected that the final agreement will be signed by the end of December when the Thai government completes all the necessary procedures including the negotiations on the details of the contract and public hearing results. In addition, K-water will submit tenders for other water projects in Thailand, including water supply projects in nine provinces near the capital Bangkok such as Chonburi, Chanthaburi, Trat, Rayong, and Sa Kaeo.
