Thailand Case
5. Water for ecosystem and pollution control: only few river basin are able allocate water for ecosystem ie. Chaopraya River, Makong River
4. Water for economic development is still risky last year which need to be consider for higher demand in the near future
3. Water for urban and city: more water to be supply for urbanization expansion , demand for business and industrial sector
2. Water for irrigation: only cover irrigation area of 30 mil. Rai, which is only 20% of total irrigated area of 150 mil. Rai.
1. Water for Domestic use include drinking water : in rural area not all is cover, quantity is not enough, in many area quality still lower standard

Pilot Project 1 : Water Supply for Agriculture (Moo 7)
Pilot Project 2 : Water Supply for Drinking Water (Moo 4)
From Vision to Action
• The pilot projects were launched to initiate working group led by the village leader and representatives.
• Focus on Capacity Building
• Promoting education (Adult & Youth)
• Public Policy
• Public hearing
• People Participation
• Conclusion
– The villagers understand their problem and self-creative solution saving cost and simply suitable to sustainability development,
– They use SSF (Slow Sand Filtering) System for drinking water and maintenance operation for village water supply system.
– SSF could be learnt and transferred to other villages near by
and could develop sustainability mainly by their own self-support works.
