03/08/2021

In 2012-2019, HII has collaborated with potential local authority, Municipality, Sub-district Administrative Organization, including National Farmers Council, and Provincial Administration Organization Council of Thailand (in 2017), to create Sub-district Hydroinformatics map by apply science and technology to collect and update precise water resources information. The integrated information will be linked with medium and small scale irrigation data in rain-fed area. Through the project, local administration officer learned and developed their capacity in using geographic information technology and the use of local context in water resources management to systematically solve water resources problem.

Successful area of the development of Sub-district Hydroinformatics in 2012-2019

In 2019, HII has collaborated with Municipality and Sub-district Administrative Organization to create Water Map for 998 areas (900 areas of goal), and potential network for 2 Sub-district groups with 25 agencies, in Thawat Buri District, Roi Et Province, and Phu Sing District, Si Sa Ket Province. These areas are the model of water sub-district map and geographic information technology for applying water management plan.

Collaboration with potential Sub-district group

In 2012-2018, HII has supported Sub-district Hydroinformatics and created Water Sub-district Map for 4,626 Sub-districts nationwide (4,000 Sub-districts of goal). The outcome throughout of project has developed potential of local authority over 2,310 agencies and local officer over 8,000 people. Included build their capacity to create geographic information, collected data and created water resources map by themselves. It found that water resources information from the local under supervision of municipality and SAO has fully supported to other parts that lacking of information to be more complete on the water resources infrastructure.
