In Thailand, they decided to use geese to clean the city's moat

In the northern Thai city of Chiang Mai, local authorities have launched a pilot project that involves using geese to clean the city's moat. To do this, the municipality released ten geese into the moat near the Chiang Mai gate, the Bangkok Post newspaper reports.

City officials want to see if the birds can reduce pollution in the moat by eating algae and plankton. The unexpected sight quickly attracted the attention of locals and visitors alike, who stopped to take photos of the birds.

Chiang Mai officials said the pilot project would last for a week. If it was deemed a success, more geese would be released into the moat that surrounds the old city.

However, the project has its critics. They believe that goose droppings, on the contrary, will worsen the quality of water. Moreover, the birds will go out onto the road, which will cause accidents.

Earlier, it was reported that a fence was being built on the border between Thailand and Cambodia .
