On 13-15 April We, Thai people, celebrate Songkran every year. Songkran is traditional Thai New Year's festival and young Thais usually celebrate it by having water fights. We've been celebrating this festival for a long time now, but, the water fights develop over time. In the past, people don't usually waste the water as much as they do now. They say it is fun to do so, but they totally forget about how much water we've wasted. 

On 13 April 2012, people consumed an additional 100,000 cubic meters of water - presumably for splashing to celebrate Songkran.. And this only showed the usage of  the middle area in the country.

In 2013, There was a water shortage in the Northeast of the country. 45 provinces in Thailand had been declared disaster areas by the government. However, Songkran still kept going.

In 2016, severe drought occurred and got worse, Songkran at Khao San Road was cut to be shorter. Usually, we have water fights for 3 days, but for last year, 2 days were organized for celebration.

For sure, Songkran will still keep happening in the future, so I hope Thai people will use water more carefully as the amount is decreasing continuously and water problems can get more severe. Lives need some fun but don't forget that we need the environment as well.
