Abstract
The main objective of the Chi Basin (Northeast Thailand) Water Use Study was to prepare a long-term integrated water resource and agricultural development plan. A basin simulation model was written to help evaluate alternative development scenarios of combinations of reservoirs and irrigation schemes. The paper describes the main features and components of the model. The types of input data required for running the model are summarised. An explanation of how the model was used for planning is then given.
