17 MARCH 2014 - BUNG THONG LONG, PATHUM THANI, THAILAND: A duck wrangler walks through a rice field in Pathum Thani province. His ducks work in the rice fields, they go through the fields eating bugs and pests that hurt the rice crop. He said the drought has made it harder for his ducks to work because there isn't enough water in the fields for the ducks to swim through the field. It hasn't rained in central Thailand in more than three months, impacting agriculture and domestic water use. Many farms are running short of irrigration water and salt water from the Gulf of Siam has come up the Chao Phraya River and infiltrated the water plants in Pathum Thani province that serve Bangkok.PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
