12. Concept and duty of FWUC and FWUG
(Farmer Water Users Community)
Manage irrigation area
Functioning by statutes approved by MOWRAM
Hold a general meeting
Decision of water distribution plan
Decision and collecting irrigation service fee
FWUG
(Farmer Water Users Group)
Formulated by Village or canal union
Manage branch canal area
Coordinating between members of FWUG and community
Implementing the work program of the Community
Collecting irrigation service fee from the members according to the terms set by the Community.

13. 5. Challenge of Water Resources Management
Main Institutions involve with Water Resources
MOWRAM
MAFF
MIME
MRD
MOPWAT
MOE
MOT
MOH
CNMC
TSA

14. Challenge of Organizations
Unclear and overlap the responsibilities and duty.
Ex: Water supply: MIME, MRD, MOWRAM, WSA…
Each agency has implemented its own policy and strategy.
Lack of mechanism for coordination and collaboration between national, sub national and local levels.
No linkage between sectors. Ex: Irrigation with Hydropower , Agriculture with irrigation and environment…).
MOWRAM faces difficulties and does not have the possibility to collaborate and coordinate.

15. Challenge of Water Uses
The competition often happen in the dry season.
Farmer awareness on irrigation system is low
Participatory of farmer in irrigation management and development not active
Competition of Water and fish users .

16. Challenge of Water Uses
Capability of farmer leader is low
Water fee collection ratio is low
In general, at the present time there is a little competition between difference sectors and various users, but water resources development level in the future will be increased .
