Don Daeng Fact and ProfileDon Daeng Fact and Profile
198 Households/882 Inhabitants/1168 hectare
Rice-farming and fishery dependent
Environmental pressure : Severe floods every 2-3 years
Locally well-known as fish stock and preserved fish (‘padak’) product village
Key conflict:
Water demand for dry-season rice growing
Water demand to maintain fish/aquatic biota/ecological value

Nong Chai Wan Reservoir : Proposed Dike Nong Chai Wan Reservoir : Proposed Dike Construction Conflict Construction Conflict
Dry-season rice farm/water melon/tomato growers proposed to build earth dike at Nong Chai Wan reservoir to increase water storage capacity
Village conservation groups/fishermen/cattle raiser fight back to keep it as it is for ecological value/fish stock/nature-resource conservation site

Key Findings/SummaryKey Findings/Summary
All stakeholders found themselves no underlying values and resource-uses exchanged, informed and consulted so far
Stakeholders agreed to employ sustainable use of natural resource principle to deal with the case
Stakeholders did trade-off the +/- impact values and reached an agreement not to build the dike at Nong Chai Wan
The alternate choice proposed to choose another reservoir-Nong Chai Wan Dong-nearby to be the place supplying waters to dry-season rice farms

The key players commented the local government should organize the platform for participatory environmental assessment action of any proposed project during the planning stage

Conclusion/Lesson Learnt
Conflict on water-resource uses with different value-holding breaks down the traditional rural cohesion
The rapid EA study plus participatory learning discourse/actions could resolve the local water-resource development conflict case
The local government should employ the participatory EA, leading to collective rational solution on future resource development vision, esp. in rural Mekong villages
