Investigates the characteristics of dry season farming and farmers in Northeast Thailand; this paper suggests hypotheses for explaining extremely low use of dry season irrigation, based on a case study of a selected area considered to be typical of the region. The Lam Pao irrigation project, located in Kalasin province, was chosen for study. Results and statistical data presented in this paper are derived both from secondary sources and from an on-farm survey of farmers in the Lam Pao area. Each farmer was interviewed two times, once to complete a schedule of questions relating to wet season farming, and a second time to obtain data on dry season irrigated cropping. Findings indicate that failure to use irrigation water during the dry season results from a complex interaction of forces. Some are largely social or cultural and some are principally of economic origin. The institutional framework supporting dry season irrigation has not developed to a degree comparable to that achieved in either the Northern or Central regions of the Kingdom. The rights and responsibilities of the major participants -- peasant farmers on the one hand and government officials on the other -- have not b

Axis: years in documents. The start year comes from first seen; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
