Abstract
In this dissertation, the researcher has two objectives: to investigate (1) the integrated water resources management for flood prevention in Phetchabun province, especially in the aspects of coordination, cooperation, and the participation of stakeholders; and to examine (2) the problems and obstacles in the integrated water resources management under study Findings are as follows:
Findings are:
1) Water resources management in the Pa Sak Basin for flood prevention in Phetchabun province is in accordance with a clear government policy based on the Twenty-Year Water Resources Management Master Plan (2018-2037) and measures to cope with the annual rainy season. The Water Resources Act, B.E. 2561 (2018) promotes integration in making a budget, determining roles and duties to establish an institution to monitor water resources, and establishing an institution to mobilize an operational plan to be in consonance with the nation’s major policy. This institution is the Office of the National Water Resources (ONWR) which is in consonance with the integrated water resources management model and is considered a major component. It is the factor that promotes integrated water resources management in the Pa Sak Basin in regard to cooperation and coordination between government agencies. It also encourages stakeholders’ participation in flood prevention in Phetchabun province through the mechanism of committee members.
2) Other factors supporting cooperation and coordination between government agencies were the following: vision sharing and mutual goals; leadership; trust between agencies; and past good relationships between agencies.
3) Other factors supporting stakeholders’ participation were the following: vision sharing and mutual goals; stakeholders’ trust of government agencies; and the promotion of knowledge and understanding of flood management as specific skills of stakeholders. The problems and obstacles in the integrated water resources management in the Pa Sak Basin for flood prevention in Phetchabun province are from the following factors. (1) Inflexibility and the formation of policy paying attention to the orders from the central agency are obstacles to the coordination and participation of regional agencies. There is an appearance of the participation of local stakeholders. (2) Law enforcement without consideration of the readiness of the agency being enforced with the law affects the effectiveness of flood prevention in Phetchabun province. 3) The lack of readiness and trust of the major institutions established to promote the integration is an obstacle to the coordination and participation between government agencies and local stakeholders’ participation.
4) The lack of learning promotion and the creation of knowledge to stakeholders are the obstacles to the local stakeholders’ participation.
