 note = {The Pua Watershed locates in the Upper Nan River Basin upstream of the Sirikit Dam’s
reservoir in Nan province, Thailand. The typical problems are often seen such as water shortage with not
cope for all utilization of agriculture, consuming, water supply during dry season. Moreover, flood and
mudslides often overflow and destroy severely erosion of the river banks and flooding in urban areas and
agriculture lands during wet season as well as water quality degradation and poor efficiency management of
their irrigation systems. Even though the government already constructed with some small to medium scale
water resources development project and alarm systems installation in some risk area of flood and drought
based on top-down policy with lack of people participation. The problem still occurs, because those systems
could not resolve their needs from local people in their communities. Thus, research for integrated water
resources management for local communities in the upstream catchments of large river basin such as Pua
watershed has been carried out based on their needs and participation from those local peoples as bottom-up
policy. The learning processes of data collection of local watercourses were conducted at firstly as for use to
balance of demands and supplies water resources in Pua watershed. The results show 626 watercourses with
annual storage capacity of water of 4.8 million cubic meters which could be served for their own agricultural
area of 5074 ha and population of 45173 people. Moreover, the watershed produces outflow not only Pua
itself but also to downstream watershed as for other users in Nan Province too. Therefore, the strategic
planning to manage water resources based on balancing of natural resources and environment were assigned
with 6 strategic plans, 19 target active plans, and 71 projects within various periods i.e. short, medium, and
long terms, respectively. There were 37 members as for the management council establishment as the aim for
efficiently driven those plans and look after as the integrated water resources management in Pua watershed.},
