Abstract
In 2009, a challenging policy of the Ubon Ratchathani Provincial Administrative Office was launched aiming at the better livelihood of farmers. One scheme was to supply more water to farming areas through pipeline infrastructure. The piping irrigation is beneficial to rice-producing areas by boosting rice productivity. As a result, members of this water user group have expended and caused water use conflict since the water is inequitably managed. The objective of this research was to solve the water use conflict and facilitate the water users to create an equitable and sustainable piping irrigation management through an active learning process. A role-play game (RPG) was built and used for active knowledge exchange activities organized in the village. Playing RPG assisted the participating water users to build a shared representation of the piping irrigation system and observed the “butterfly effect” of interactions at micro level to the system at macro level during gaming sessions.
