Interventions on hydro/ecological systems by different categories of stakeholders characterised by different political, decision-making and discursive power, and varied access to resources, tend to generate costs, benefits and risks that are distributed unevenly across spatial and temporal scales and across social groups. This is due to the interconnectedness of users through the hydrologic cycle entailed by their dependence upon the same resource. As pressure over resources increases and basins ‘close’, this interdependence becomes more critical, increasing the frequency and seriousness of water shortages and conflicts. A political ecology approach seeks to identify and understand the mechanisms that underpin the transformations of aquatic socioenvironmental systems. Basin interconnectedness, with its hydrological, ecological and social dimensions, and three instances of the concept of scale are shown to be relevant to the understanding of these transformations. The paper analyses the case of the Chao Phraya river basin, in Thailand, and shows how land and water resources have been appropriated and identifies the different interest groups and their related discourses and power; it examines how they have adapted to socio- environmental changes, and highlights how risks, costs and benefits have been distributed.

Rivers are one of the major pathways for the transportation of microplastics (MPs) from land-based sources to the ocean. However, there are only a few studies on MPs in freshwater environments, particularly in Asian countries. In this study, MP contamination in the Chao Phraya River in selected locations distributed throughout Bangkok, Thailand was investigated. MPs were collected using a Manta net with a mesh size of 335 µm. After digestion and distinction based on density, MPs were observed using a stereomicroscope, and polymer types were identified using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. MP concentrations detected in the five sampling locations of the river water from upstream to downstream were 11, 35, 40, 15, and 4 particles/m3, with an average concentration of 21±16 particles/m3. Most MPs were identified as either fragments or sheets/films. Polypropylene was the dominant polymer type. The number of MPs increases as their size decreases. Potential sources of MPs may include the degradation of single-use plastic products, especially, containers and plastic packaging. MP concentrations and characteristics varied for different locations, indicating different sources and pathways of MPs in urban contexts. Further investigation on the different pathways of the transportation of MPs to river water from land-based sources is required.
