 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.

The poetry was composed in dialogue between Wang Wei and his friend, P'ei Ti, as the two walked through the river valley.

 REVIEW: The Other Side of Suzhou River; Wang's "So Close to Paradise"
While "Suzhou River'' was alive with bright colors, Hitchcockian inspiration and a hypnotic style, "So Close to Paradise'' is almost funereal in tone, with lots of grayish blues, and a moodiness that Wang skillfully imbues with his customary social conscience.
Wang has a lot on his mind in "So Close to Paradise,'' a film in which outsiders are the real losers in big city life.
Wang is a no-frills filmmaker; sometimes his movies seem too cut-and-dried -- who eschews the jolting hand-held camerawork currently in fashion for a more traditional approach.

Wang spent periods of seclusion throughout his life in many different places— but in his middle years he acquired his famous WheelRim River (Wang River) retreat in the WholeSouth mountains, just south of Ch'ang-an.
