Abstract

This paper aims to outline the historical development of the river-society relationship in the lower Chao Phraya River basin. The basin development in the first half of the 20th century remade the river into a huge irrigation system with often-conflicting functions, e.g. water delivery in rainy seasons, selective dry season irrigation and flood mitigation by diverting water into designated area. These functions are intertwined in the historical formation of the irrigation system. The conflict among these divergent functions that has recently become visible due to the agricultural change and industrialization in the 1990s poses significant challenge for water management.
