A local fisherman has lost his livelihood due to the severe drought that dried up most of his fish pool.<br /><br />Sakda Wongsueb owns the land where he dug 30 pools for fish breeding and sell them for living in Phayao, northern Thailand.<br /><br />However, his business is now stuck due to the severe drought that has depleted the water supplies and killed his fish.<br /><br />Footage from Sunday (01/02) shows how his fish pools have dried up after the rain has ceased for several months.<br /><br />Sakda said his business is now facing closure because he can no longer breed the fish.<br /><br />He said: "I have a total 30 fish pool and usually sell over 12 tons of fishes a year but the drought has caused most of my pools to dry out and I have to had to sell as many fish as possible at a loss before they die. Many have perished.<br /><br />"I have faced the drought period before but there was none as bad as this year. I have stored some water but it will not be enough to survive the drought.<br /><br />"The water I have reserved is barely sufficient to last until April, so my business will have to close unless something changes.''
