Abstract

This paper reviews the water resources management experience with respect to large‐scale irrigation in the Chao Phya Basin in Central Thailand. Following a description of the physical setting and the water resources development schemes that have evolved since the early 1900s, the applicable governmental organization structure is presented in relation to specific water resources management activities. A summary of major accomplishments and environmental consequences of the development is presented. Finally, major problems and issues of water resources management are raised, including: lack of comprehensive planning; data shortages, overemphasis on physical factors; emerging water scarcities; and difficulties of achieving efficient and equitable development.
