Another major city with a water problem.

Bangkok may run out of water in thirty days unless it rains. But a good part of the problem seems to be the lack of effective management by the city. The price residents pay for water is too low at twenty-five cents per 1000 liters. Then, there is no way to collect rain water on a large scale; all the rain is washed into the sea. They have no way to prevent the water becoming brackish in drought conditions.
