His Majesty the King observed that most monkeys, when they have obtained bananas, will store them in their mouths. They will do this for a whole bunch of bananas or until their cheeks are filled up. Only then they will start to chew and swallow the bananas.
His Majesty has modeled the technique for water retention on the way monkeys eat. He has directed the Royal Irrigation Department to construct large water retention reservoirs in a ten square kilometre area near the coast, in order to store water from natural water courses and newly-dug canals. New water gates are also to be constructed to release water into the sea during low-tides, with the gates to be closed during high-tides to prevent sea-water from flooding the reservoirs and the surrounding areas.
The full implementation of the Kaem Ling Project needs careful study and planning which takes time, however in the preliminary stages, certain phases of the project can be carried out to alleviate flood problems in the interim.
