"Transforming Bangkok's waterways from crisis to asset. Integrating advanced engineering with Nature-based Solutions to restore the Bangmod Canal ecosystem."
How we apply the Nature Positive framework to water management.
Source Control: Preventing pollution before it starts via SBT MICA SAND wastewater treatment.
Zero Waste: Eliminating plastics that clog canals and reducing water extraction via recycling.
Bio-remediation: Using wetlands, plants, and nanobubbles to heal the water ecosystem.
3C Project: Connecting Community, Canal, and Cycling to foster stewardship.
High-efficiency biological treatment ensuring discharged water meets or exceeds environmental standards.
Advanced Bio-Filtration Unit
Physical removal of suspended solids (SS) and grit to protect downstream filters.
Biological breakdown of complex organics. Reduces Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD).
Oxygen introduction for aerobic bacteria to metabolize dissolved organics (BOD Reduction).
Final clarification. Clear supernatant is discharged or recycled for irrigation.
Diverted from municipal supply annually.
Solar-powered buoys deployed in the canal transmit real-time data via LoRaWAN to the cloud. Essential for local farmers to monitor salinity levels for the famous "Bangmod Orange."
Pioneering research using 16S rRNA gene sequencing to map bacterial diversity. This "Microbial Map" allows us to diagnose canal health at a microscopic level and identify specific pollution sources.

Canal • Cycling • Community
Revitalizing the socio-economic fabric of canal-side communities. By constructing cycling paths and organizing cultural festivals, we turn the canal from a "backyard sewer" into a "front yard asset."

Trash Collected
58 kg
A collaboration between EESH Center, Faculty of Liberal Arts, and Green Heart volunteers to clean up Bangmod Canal.
On November 6, 2025, the EESH Center, led by Khun Naiyarat Wongwet, joined forces with the Faculty of Liberal Arts to organize "SDGs Series EP4: Volunteering for Sustainable Communities." The event aimed to integrate sustainability into daily life through interactive learning. Activities included the "Green Hero Kids" experience sharing by Change Agents, waste separation exhibits, and a creative "Painting with Natural Colors" workshop. The day culminated in a volunteer drive to collect trash and Krathong debris along the Bangmod Canal, removing 58kg of waste and reinforcing our commitment to SDG 14.
