11 The Importance of natural water sources/wetland Support biodiversity Retain and retard water for the purpose of flood and drought mitigation Support economic activities e.g. fishery, forestry around the area Use for navigation Use for recreation
12 Problem and Cause of Degradation Problem Encroaching and constructing that obstruct the water way Contaminating of waste water and solid waste Shallows due to silting and weed Cause Increasing of population and consequently social and economic development leads to demand for more use of water sources/wetland Inefficient use and lack of good management Lack of information, knowledge, and participation in managing and developing Natural disaster e.g. flood, land slide, drought
13 State of Surface Water Quality in Thailand in 2006
14 Landslide Chiang Mai (2003)
15 National Policy on Water Resources Restoration 1. Determine guideline and control riparian land use 2. Reserve natural environment, cultural heritage, and traditional community s live 3. Determine and control direction of nearby community expansion 4. Rehabilitate water quality 5. Promote an appropriate use of water source/wetland 6. Promote knowledge, awareness, and understanding of concerned stakeholders to participate in water source/wetland management 7. Improve law and its enforcement
16 Measures for problem solving Measures for reducing of upstream soil erosion e.g. rehabilitation of upper watershed, construction of check dam Solving of encroaching problem by surveying to determine boundary, and fencing Rehabilitation of natural water sources/wetland Solving of water pollution and solid waste Preventing of river bank erosion
17 Before: Canals in Bangkok
18 After Restoration
19 Nam Sai Water Sources Improvement Chacheongsao Province
20 Stakeholders participated in project implementation
21 Bung Pra Archarn Improvement Nakhon Nayok Province
22 Participation in Water Quality Monitoring
23 Contributing Fund to Support Activities Related to the Water Pollution Management
24 Using Local Wisdom to Treat Domestic Wastewater Before Discharging
25 Key Factors for Achievement in Thailand The princess paid a visit and recommended a guideline for rehabilitation one of the most degraded canal in Bangkok on 20 September Since then the Cabinet determined the day to be the National Day of River Rehabilitation every year. Structure of the National Water Resources Committee and the River Basin Committee The National Water Agenda of 21 May 2007 Association of Thai culture with water e.g. Loy Krathong festival (floating lantern), Songkran festival (throwing water), traditional boat racing, and Royal Barge Procession

32 Conclusion and recommendation Degradation of natural water sources and wetland have made Thailand paying more attention to restore them. Some of the degraded wetlands have been restored with participatory process. Royal family and the Government are interested and give priority to conservation of natural water sources and wetland. From now on packages of measure for water sources restoration including strategy and guidelines must be coherently implemented to ensure efficient solutions. International network will be a good way of catalyzing the process of natural water sources and wetland restoration in Thailand.
