USAID's ECO-Asia is facilitating a twinning partnership between Wastewater Management Authority (WMA) of Thailand and King County (US) to transfer best practices and practical solutions to strengthen WMA's capacity to better manage, operate, and maintain wastewater treatment plants throughout Thailand. Funded by WMA, the WMA Board visited King County's Wastewater Treatment Division during July 28-29, 2008 and signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for a one-year twinning partnership, discussed twinning activities, and visited wastewater treatment plants to understand King County polices and practices in providing wastewater services. Through this partnership, WMA and King County will develop and institutionalize a toolkit on wastewater management and operation and maintenance in Krabi, an ASEAN Environmentally Sustainable City, and replicate lessons learned throughout Thailand.
