17 MARCH 2014 - BUNG KHAM PROI, PATHUM THANI, THAILAND: A farm worker sits on the edge of a rice field he works in. He said his fields are one of the few in the area that still have water because they are lower than surrounding fields. He said he provides some water to neighboring farmers. It hasn't rained in central Thailand in more than three months, impacting agriculture and domestic water use. Many farms are running short of irrigration water and salt water from the Gulf of Siam has come up the Chao Phraya River and infiltrated the water plants in Pathum Thani province that serve Bangkok.
