Ban (village) Nam Wa is situated in a hilly area of Nan Province, a northeastern province of Thailand adjacent to Lao People Democratic Republic. Wa River, a tributary of Nan River runs its course through and provides life-supporting activities for ( ... )
population of 400 in the village.
Even though, the majority of villagers earn their living through agricultural practices with simple and easy life-style, environment degradation is no exception for the locality. Deforestation and subsequent
sedimentation in the river, application of chemical substances in agricultural practices and its excessive run-off, and ever-increasing use of energy,
