You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Songkhram River''' (((Lang-th|แม่น้ำสงคราม)), ((RTGS|''Maenam Songkhram'')), ((IPA-th|mɛ̂ː.náːm sǒŋ.kʰrāːm|pron))) is a tributary of the [[Mekong River]]. It originates in the hills between [[Nong Han District]], [[Udon Thani Province]] and [[Sawang Daen Din District]], [[Sakon Nakhon Province]]. It flows through [[Seka District]] ([[Nong Khai Province]]), [[Wanon Niwat District|Wanon Niwat]] (Sakon Nakhon Province), and [[Si Songkhram District]] and empties into the Mekong River in ''tambon'' Chai Buri, [[Tha Uthen District]], [[Nakhon Phanom Province]]. It is ((convert|420|km|mi)) long.

The Songkhram is one of the more important but lesser known rivers in Thailand's northeast. It is the last Mekong tributary in Thailand free of developments blocking river flow. Fish can swim freely into the Songkhram River from the Mekong and use it as a spawning ground. This replenishes the fish stocks that are an indispensable food source for inhabitants of the Mekong region.<ref name="Nation-20180605"/>

==Wildlife==
The lower Songkhram River basin provides habitat for 192 species of fish, 136 species of birds, and 208 plant species.<ref name="Nation-20180605"/>

==Ramsar designation==
Since 2019 the lower river basin has been designated as a protected [[Ramsar site]] under the [[Ramsar Convention]] on Wetlands of International Importance,<ref name="RSIS"/> as a result of the combined efforts of local governments, [[HSBC]]-Thailand, the National Environmental Policy Office (NEPO), and the [[World Wide Fund for Nature]]-Thailand (WWF).<ref name="Nation-20180605"/><ref name="BP-20190725"/>

This Ramsar site, Thailand's 15th, protects a 92-kilometre stretch of the Songkhram River and ((convert|34,000|rai|ha|lk=in|abbr=unit)) of basin. Over 240,000 people and 49 communities are estimated to benefit from the designation.<ref name="Nation-20180605">((cite news |title=Thailand's last untouched Mekong tributary |url=http://www.nationmultimedia.com/detail/national/30346983 |accessdate=6 June 2018 |work=The Nation |date=5 June 2018))</ref>

==Dam plans==
For almost four decades, governmental organisations and investors have pushed for a dam on the river. Every effort has been beaten back by civil society groups. In 2019 the Royal Irrigation Department (RID) is again moving to build a "watergate" on the river in Tha Uthen District of Nakhon Phanom as part of its Khong-Loei-Chi-Mun (KLCM) irrigation project.<ref name="BP-20190725">((cite news |last1=Blake |first1=David J H |title=Damming Isan's last river for cash |url=https://www.bangkokpost.com/opinion/opinion/1718439/damming-isans-last-river-for-cash |accessdate=25 July 2019 |work=Bangkok Post|format=Opinion|date=25 July 2019))</ref>
