Rural Thailand Water Resource Development
Paradigm
Traditional
Top-down driven by central
& provincial & local
governments
Supply driven approach
Pro single (sectoral)
objective – rice production
Transitional
New created valuesustainable
development/ecology
Minor groups/uncovered
local resource
dependent/shared benefit
and value/equity
Multi-stakeholder

Don Daeng Village Case

Village
Water Resource Dispute Case
at Don Daeng Village Rural NE
Thailand border to Laos PDR
Don Daeng Fact and Profile
198 Households/882
Inhabitants/1168 hectare
Rice-farming and fishery
dependent
Environmental pressure :
Severe floods every 2-3 years
Locally well-known as fish
stock and preserved fish
(‘padak’) product village
Key conflict:
Water demand for dry-season
rice growing
Water demand to maintain
fish/aquatic biota/ecological
value
Nong Chai Wan Reservoir : Proposed Dike
Construction Conflict
Dry-season rice
farm/water melon/tomato
growers proposed to build
earth dike at Nong Chai
Wan reservoir to increase
water storage capacity
Village conservation
groups/fishermen/cattle
raiser fight back to keep it
as it is for ecological

Rapid Environmental Assessment (EA) Survey
Nong Chai Wan Reservoir
1.4 million m3.
Fishing/cow raising
Village water-supply
Recreation/ecotourism/ecostudy
Farmland irrigation
Cyperus for weaving
reeds/matting
Nature habitats; native 17
plants/31 fish species
Conflict of Interest Present
Water for dry-season rice farm
vs Aquatic resources &
handicraft use
Participatory Development Learning
Actions
Organize stakeholder
meeting
Exchange information on
local resource-uses and
different value holding
Assess dike construction
impacts (+/-) on
environment
(physical/biological/socio-economic)
Seeking best alternative
Key Findings/Summary
All stakeholders found
themselves no underlying
values and resource-uses
exchanged, informed and
consulted so far
Stakeholders agreed to employ
sustainable use of natural resource
principle to deal with the case
Stakeholders did trade-off the
+/- impact values and reached
an agreement not to build the
dike at Nong Chai Wan
The alternate choice proposed
to choose another reservoirNong Chai Wan Dong-nearby to
be the place supplying waters
to dry-season rice farms
Key Findings/Summary (cont.)
The Nong Chai Wan should be
planned for nature
conservation site used for
eco-tourism/fish stock/cow
raising/matt weaving/ecostudy/recreation
The key players commented
the local government should
organize the platform for
participatory environmental
assessment action of any
proposed project during the
planning stage
Conclusion/Lesson Learnt
Conflict on water-resource
uses with different valueholding breaks down the
traditional rural cohesion
The rapid EA study plus
participatory learning
discourse/actions could
resolve the local waterresource development
conflict case
The local government should
employ the participatory EA,
leading to collective rational
solution on future resource
development vision, esp. in
rural Mekong villages
