The Banthad Range is the major waterhed area supplying water to water bodies in 4 surrounding provinces and the Songkhla Lagoon.The original area was about 144,000 ha 30 years ago and reduced to 112,000 ha at present. Of this present figure, about ( ... )
ha is in Pattalung Province.
It become evident that the Songkhla Lagoon become shallow at an average depth of 1 m. and the quality of the water was degraded. This seems to be the result of the unscrupulous utilization of land area and natural resources in the range.There have been a big demand for land for agriculture and subsequently chemical sustance to raise the yields.
