| Abstract;This paper presents the experience of establishing a water users' organization in the Chao Phraya Delta in Thailand. Based on the results of experience, the presentation will propose a new policy for establishing a water users' organization in the Chao Phraya Delta. The proposals cited are as follows: (1) one Water Users' Group (WUG) shall be established in each beneficiary area of irrigation ditches, and an Integrated Water Users' Group (IWUG), that integrates all WUGs within the same lateral canal, shall be established at the same time; (2) auditors shall become part of the IWUG; (3) responsibilities and functions for irrigation water distribution shall be identified, and the Royal Irrigation Department (RID) shall then provide necessary information to farmers for their decision making; (4) to provide motivation to farmers to organize, only water users' organizations that have been established by farmers themselves can apply to the RID for the execution of rehabilitation works on irrigation ditches; (5) laws shall be enacted to secure the activities of water users' organizations.
