Water quality modeling : A guide to effective practice

Although the financial sector was the epicenter of Thailand's economic crisis in 1997, the corporate sector, small-scale manufactures, wage earners, and other vulnerable groups also felt its effects. This resulted in a widespread loss of confidence that threatened to undo the prosperity of several decades of hard work. This book provides an analysis of the crisis and the struggle to find solutions. It examines key crisis events and policy measures for damage control. It also describes in detail Thailand's stabilization programs and steps taken to prevent similar crises in the future, such as structural reforms in the financial and corporate sectors. Future challenges to the country are also outlined. The information presented here will help readers to draw their own conclusions about the crisis and assess how far Thailand has recovered.
