Abstract

Knowledge Management for Intelligence-Local Agricultural Water Management Project mainly aims to publicize body of knowledge and experiences on water management for agriculture. In combination with introducing renewable energy, the project focuses on suggesting communities with appropriate water management guidelines regarding each individual local community’s contexts, relieving water shortage in dry season, and seeking for guideline to efficient water management which correspond to Agricultural Technology Transfer and Service Center of Omkoi district’s water management issue. The center is located at 30 meters above and 400 meters from Mae Tuen river. Even though the river is a perennial steam, the water discharge can be scarce in dry season and can be insufficient for agricultural purposes. This project has introduces intelligence-water management for agriculture by installing solar energy pumping system at the center. With pumping capability of 1,800 liter/day, the system is sufficient for 100 square meter-agricultural plot at the center. Together with automatic solar energy-water supply system and plant watering systems both mini sprinkler and dripping system were installed at 2 demonstration farm plots for planting home-grown vegetables such as tomatoes, chilies, and morning glory, for instance. In addition, the workshop on knowledge management on intelligence-water management for agriculture was held on 10th February 2021 at Agricultural Technology Transfer and Service Center of Om-Koi district. There were 25 local villagers, farmers, and representatives from Omkoi Subdistrict Administrative Organization attended the workshop. Pre-test and post-test were conducted. The result of the tests have shown that most trainees are very satisfied with the workshop and after the training, more than 50 percent of them have more understanding in intelligence-water management for agriculture regarding to the post-test. After 1 month of installation, the evaluation was conducted and found that both automatic solar energy-water supply system and plant watering systems are well-functioning.
