Scaling up capacities for responsible governance of water tenure in support of food security, climate resilience and social inclusion (SCALEWAT) Bangkok, Thailand, 29–31 October 2024
2025Also available in:
No results found.As global water demand is projected to increase along with the number of people living in areas of high water stress, the allocation of water resources is increasingly critical. In the Asia-Pacific region, the agricultural sector, in particular, faces growing competition over water resources from other sectors to support rapid population and economic growth, and climate change has compounded this pressure. To address these challenges, FAO launched "Scaling up capacities for responsible governance of water tenure (ScaleWat)" in Thailand and Colombia to promote equitable and sustainable water allocation by strengthening water monitoring and improving access to accurate information on water resources. This report summarizes the key points from the National Project Launch and Inception Workshop for the ScaleWat project in Thailand, held in October 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand. The workshop featured a training on the water tenure assessment methodology and was attended by ScaleWat government partner, the Office of the National Water Reosurces (ONWR), as well as representatives from other government agencies, farmer organizations, and civil society engaged in water management in Thailand. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookWater tenure assessment 2024
Also available in:
Increasing water demand coupled with the predicted impacts of climate change pose a significant challenge for all countries in terms of water allocation in the context of food security. To manage and use water resources more efficiently and equitably, the rules and arrangements that govern access to water resources need to be well understood. Water tenure assessment helps to clarify these arrangements, which are based on formal laws as well as customs and traditions. It provides an unbiased view of the relationships between people and water resources with a view to reviewing and improving water governance processes. This publication clarifies basic concepts and lays out the six basic steps of a water tenure assessment. It describes practical tools and methods to apply the assessment in practice.
