 note = {Under the rapidly change in world economical and environmental situations, water resource become a fundamental issue in order to maintain and strengthen human livings and socio-economical development. The advancement of IT technology enables the information input to the management system and also gives the possibility for water communication among stakeholders in information exchange, early warning system and water planning. As the world trend, the governmental administrative system introduces the decentralized policy to level up the local administrative to govern their own resources and budget for their own communities. The web based provincial water management model is developed to handle with water planning in the province which includes information, plan, and linkage with central governmental unit. The model comprises of three modules, i.e., monitoring and warning, emergency response and planning. The monitoring and warning module provides the water status (use, demand, supply, deficit) in each local administrative unit within the province where the data of rainfall, reservoir storage, water level etc. will be input through the linkage from the concerned authorities. The emergency module provides the information for water distribution in local and inter local based (available water tank, water truck, pond etc.) during drought so that administrators can decide to distribute water to the deficit area effectively and efficiently. The water planning module provides tools for the short and medium planning to mitigate water deficit problem in the province. The data of water plan from central governmental units and local administrative will be collected and shown in GIS based so that the province can investigate and decide for priority and budget allocation to cope with the development plan in the area. The monitoring of the approved water projects will also be shown to see the progress. It is expected that with the proposed water resources system model, water management in the province will be better conducted and be the basis for discussions among stakeholders and also can respond to the need and development of the province for both short and medium term.},
