12. Watershed Condition Assessment Model on Western and Central
Basins

A set of this assessment model was created from the device called “Model
builder” along with creating custom “Tools”. This model can be used with ArcGIS software
from Version 10.5 onwards, and computer properties should have CPU-I7, RAM 16GB and later.

12.1 Characteristics and Main Tools for Model

A model for assessing western and central basin condition was created from data
compiled from different departments both as “Vector” data model (Vector) and “Raster”
data models or grid cell. There is an assign different scores and weight based on indicators
and give precedence to different indicators in each watershed. Analyzing data by using a
Multicriteria Analysis tool and converting the scores into 0-100 scale score range for
classifying watershed condition according to criterion, namely critical, risky, warning, and
balance conditions. The steps of data analysis process are shown in the Figure21 and
home screen as well as toolbar of ArcMap program is shown in the Figure 22 below.

Executive Summary Report

13.1 Areas Selection for Creating Action Plans to Restoration and Conservation

From the results of watershed areas selection for creating the restoration and
conservation action plans, it was suitable to become model for other watersheds in
Northeastern regions. Advisors decided to use the same concept as areas selection for
establishing action plan in Northern watershed areas by applying the factors which cover all
watershed classes and all types of land uses, as well as watershed assessment results.

(1) Areas Selection Results
From operating the areas selection process at the sub-watershed levels, the

results show that there were from a total 769 sub-watersheds, 80 sub-basins, and 3 river
basins. Sub-watershed areas derived from Department of Water Resource need to be
resized since they have very small space after integrating sub-watershed areas, still there
will be the rest of 418 sub-watersheds used in areas selection procedure.

The areas selection results show that there were some watershed covering the
most concerned issues, and each of sub-watersheds with different characteristics spread all
over river basins. Those sub-watersheds include Huai Nam Kam SS7 (Khong River Basin),
Lam Nam Choen SS1 (Chi River Basin), and Lam Plai Mat SS1 (Mun River Basin) as shown in
Table19 and Figure 36 to 37.

14. The Establishment of Action Plan in Watershed Class Areas
(Northeastern Watershed)

The relevant project plans were compiled and examined the data regarding the
communities needs at province, district, and sub-district level. In addition, the conference
was arranged to discuss with relevant government agencies about area problematic issues
and suggest organizing the district working group for certainly resolving the problems as
well as conduct field survey to collect information in the study areas during September 1-
5, 2019.

Most government agencies focus on watershed areas problem-solving and support
to various fields. The areas experiencing flooding, drought, and chemical usage problems in
upstream areas because those areas were not divided into development zone. The
problematic areas are in forest areas and Agricultural Land Reform Office’s area; however,
the problems will be resolve by agencies in each area or public’s request.
