	World Water Assessment Programme \| Case Studies \| Chao Phraya River Basin, Thailand
		In the Wang River, degradation of water quality near centres of urban population in Lampang was attributed to domestic wastewater discharge coupled with effluent discharges from commercial establishments and factories located on the river banks.
		However, the increasing diversion of river flow for irrigation has had the effect of reducing minimum flows in critical reaches of the river such that navigation by vessels over a certain size is now restricted during the dry season.
		The maintenace of river integrity is based on maintaining minimum stream discharges to repel salt-water intrusion at the lower reaches of rivers, minimise levels of pollutants and maintain minimum dissolved oxygen levels to ensure that the quality of the aquatic environment does not fall below acceptable levels.
