Use of Hydrological Knowledge and<br />
Community Participation for Improving<br />
Decision-making on Irrigation Water<br />
Allocation<br />

A growing population requires more food. In<br />
order to meet food demand, people exploit<br />
more natural resources and intensify agricultural<br />
production. Many farmers who grow dry season<br />
rice lack irrigation. The lack of irrigation is not<br />
just because of a lack of water in the catchment,<br />
but also from a lack of irrigation infrastructure<br />
and a proper water allocation mechanism.<br />
This working paper reports on the research<br />
being conducted in Stung Chrey Bak<br />
catchment in Kampong Chhnang aiming to<br />
generate knowledge about the interactions<br />
between water use, policy, physical systems and<br />
institutional frameworks around catchment<br />
management. The research uses a participatory<br />
action research method for interactive learning<br />
and data collection.<br />
