Clean Water for Planet

1.TRAINING COURSES FOR STUDENTS AND KNOWLEDGE-SHARING WITH LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS.

Collaborating with Chulalongkorn University, WHA Group offers training courses on water conservation and wastewater management to engineering students. Every year, WHA Group offers internship programs for university students to gain newfound knowledge from the Group's expertise and specialization in wastewater and water management services. In 2020, there were seven students participating in the internship program

2. LEARNING CENTERS TO TACKLE ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES WITHIN WHA GROUP'S INDUSTRIAL ESTATES.

In 2020, there were a total of eight visiting groups that visited and observed WHA Group's expertise in wastewater treatment at the constructed wetland project. The visitor groups comprised of provincial governmental authorities, representatives from Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand and local members.

3. PROVIDE CLEAN WATER FOR LOCAL COMMUNITIES.

One of the greatest achievements from this program, todate, is the completion of a constructed wetland system that was delivered to Pluak Dang Sub-District Office in Rayong province. See the overall treatment process of the wetland system in the Water Management chapter.

Moving forward, WHA Group has established a plan to develop similar sustainable wastewater treatment system at Nong-kla municipality, Chantaburi province. The system is estimated to treat up to 800 cubic meter of wastewater/ day. WHA Group sees the two-way benefits of this project as it provides the Nong Kla communities with access to clean water source, and the Group can reserve such water supply as backup in the event of droughts. Construction will begin in 2021.

Overall, the Clean Water for Planet Project received the FIABCI- Thai Prix d' Excellence Award 2020 in the Environmental (Rehabilitation/Conservation) Category for its tremendous results in the overall environmental impact and benefits to the local communities around WHA Group's industrial estates.
