Abstract
A centralised wastewater treatment plant - one of the region’s largest - was to be built in Khlong Dan, Thailand, to process 525,000 m3 of wastewater daily. Staggeringly corrupt deals between politicians, public officials and businesspersons inflated land prices. Colluders were convicted following complaints by locals to the Asian Development Bank, a new prime minister and the pollution control department.
