research method was designed. The 10-Water User Organizations (WUOs); 35 organizations with high
efficiency on contraction and agreement between the members’ WUOs were interviewed and observed. The
factors affecting include; population growth, particularly in water-short regions, movement of large people

The WUOs memberships’ responses to their organizing conditions are located at outside the interior
irrigation area was undisturbed. The irrigation canal was constructed in the form of irrigation water. The

yields are sustained under usable storage water. The Chi River water resources’ developments with the legal
claims traditional rules, regulations indicate that of effectiveness and fairness to the local agriculture,
