Integrated water management, Water resource restoration, Phayao LakeAbstract
This research studies the issues of water resource management and suggests guidelines for sustainable water resource restoration for the communities along Phayao Lake, using a qualitative research method. The data collection methods include documented research, area survey, and semi-structured interviews. The data was analyzed through a content analysis regarding the causes of water degradation, successful approaches to water resource restoration, flood prevention, bank erosion protection, ecological restoration of the floodplain, and guidelines for restoring water sources under the concept of integrated water management.
The results show that the water quality in Phayao Lake has been degraded by sediment accumulation and chemical contamination. In addition, the communities along the lake also face floods and drought, along with the problems of segmental water management and the lack of integrated and sustainable water management. The proposed approaches to water resource restoration for this study are the application of the green infrastructure, the protection of native plants, bank erosion protection, the restoration of the stream structure, community participation in water resource restoration projects, sustainable land use planning, and integrated water management.
