At present, rapid expansion of community and industrial growth has led to extensive construction of buildings and facilities which are far beyond the carrying capacity of existing infrastructure. This results in environmental change which in turn produces many adverse effects. Concerned with this problem, His Majesty the King commissioned the relevant agencies to seek solutions for the environmental problems caused by waste and polluted water as well as to look for ways to preserve mangrove forests in coastal areas. His Majesty suggested that research on the control of environmental pollutions be conducted simultaneously with development work on other aspects within the area of 1,135 rai (181.6 hectares) of land at Laem Phak Bia Subdistrict, Ban Laem District, Phetchaburi Province. The project's main objective is to carry out study and development work to enhance the effectiveness of waste water treatment and waste disposal by using natural means as well as by tackling environmental pollution in general by using appropriate technology. The project will create direct benefits in the environment and also serve as a pilot project or model for this type of development initiatives in other areas which have similar conditions.
