1 Tubpun, Y. 1986. The economics of small tank irrigation in Northeast Thailand. In K. W. Easter (Ed.), Irrigation investment, technology, and management strategies for development. Boulder, CO, USA: Westview Press. pp.129-146. (Studies in water policy and management no.9)
(Location: IWMI-HQ Call no: 631.7 G000 EAS Record No: J 44)
Presents an evaluation of three small scale tanks which the Government of Thailand has implemented in Northeast Thailand to provide the basic water needs for household use, livestock use, fish production, small vegetable gardens, rice nurseries and, in some cases, dry season irrigation. The author finds that household and livestock water benefits were not large enough to cover project costs in any of the tanks. However, dry season irrigation benefits made the high performance tank very profitable. Leadership, cooperation, price incentives, and location of the tank near the village were all important in the success of the high performance tank. The study also suggests new ways of estimating tank benefits based on survey techniques to obtain farmers' willingness to pay for tanks.
