In the past the King realized that Khao Tao village, where a lot of villagers settled down, was shortage of fresh water for consumption and agriculture. HM the King gave his private property to the Department of Irrigation for a reservoir, which was the first royal project, in 1962. From that day Khao Tao residents have water from the reservoir.
