4 Outline Of Project |
|
|
As a result of rapid economic growth
and development in recent years, the environmental deterioration
became very serious in Thailand. Especially, water pollution
is one of the biggest issues and the construction of
sewerage system is spotlighted as basic countermeasure
for the water pollution control in public water bodies.
Thai government already realised the necessity of sewerage
system and has been promoting the sewage works in these
years.

In order to implement the sewerage projects, engineers, scientists
and technicians in various fields are necessary. However the
sewerage technology is quite new to Thailand and human resources
are quite limited in these fields. In order to cope with these
problems, it is urgently necessary to develop and transfer the
appropriate technology to Thai engineers. And at the same time,
it has become an important task to increase the number of well-qualified
and experienced engineers, scientists and technicians through
the systematically organised training program.
Under these circumstances Thai Government decided to establish
the Training Center for Sewage Works (TCSW) under the Technical
Training Institute (TTI) of the Public Works Department (PWD),
Ministry of Interior. However, because of the lack of experiences
in the field of sewerage technology, technical assistance from
Japanese Government was requested for training know how and
equipment donation under JICA's project type technical co-operation
program. |

Implementation of training course
Data collection and development of database system
Making Research & development program
Preparations for Research & development facilities |

| Dispatch of Japanese
Expert |
JICA dispatched five (5) long-term experts: Chief
Advisor, Coordinator, Civil Engineer, Mechanical Engineer and
Water Quality Scientist. The jobs of long-term experts for training
are mainly categorized three classes. The one is surveying to
make training materials, the second one is making training materials,
and the last one is training counterparts for lecturer.
For the smooth implementation of the Project, JICA dispatched
short-term experts. Fifty-nine (59) Short-term experts were
dispatched to Thailand during 5 years. They were two (2) persons
for an opening seminar, two (2) persons for a closing seminar,
fifty-two (52) persons for training, four (4) persons for Database
system developing, one (1) person for R&D program and two
(2) persons in place of a long-term expert. |
|
| Provision of Machinery
and Equipment |
| JICA provided the equipment during the project; its total
amount was around 500 million-yen for provision of equipment,
making training materials, development of Database system, and
routine works. Main equipment were audio-visual appliances,
laboratory equipment, practice materials, vehicles, office supplies
and so on. |
