... contrast, the TAO system faces a number of management, supervision, and quality control challenges. One factor is the overlapping responsibilities between departments within the Royal Thai Government (RTG). The Department of Water Resources (DWR) within the new Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment is responsible for the development and dissemination of treatment handbooks and guidelines as well as providing training.
