Floods and drought threaten Thailand crops

While some areas in Thailand are still reeling from last year’s floods, other areas are suffering from drought.
Water management has long been a problem in the country.
There is plenty of water in hydropower stations, but the government is being criticised for not releasing enough to help the drought-stricken areas. And with early rains forecast, there are fears the reservoirs will fill up too quickly.
