Thailand is in the grip of its worst drought for more than 20 years,
with water levels in the country's biggest dams lower than 10 percent.
The current drought has hit the north hardest, with 22 of Thailand's 76
provinces affected.
Agriculture has been severely affected, and there are genuine fears that
taps could run dry within a matter of weeks. Several major reservoirs in the
country are below 50 percent of their water capacity.
The situation is so bad at the Ubolrat dam they are about to dip into
what is locally known as "dead storage" - this refers to the last 1
percent in the bottom of the reservoir.
