2.1 Breve descripción del Enfoque

The Land Development Department has promoted lowering of saline groundwater table in recharge areas since 2014. The approach used is through: (1) Public relations and information spreading; (2) Planning demonstration sites; (3) Selection of farmers interested in participating in the project; (4) Providing knowledge and advice to those farmers participating in the project; (5) The preparation of demonstration plots, with shallow wells, in farmers' land.

2.2 Descripción detallada del Enfoque MST

Descripción detallada del Enfoque MST:

Lowering shallow saline groundwater is one method of preventing the spread of salt in soils. This has been promoted under the Land Development Department (LDD) at Bua Yai district Nakhon Ratchasima province since 2014. The LDD has been drilling shallow wells to: (1) provide water for farming, (2) reduce the amount of saline groundwater, and (3) to create a positive economic impact.
The approach used is through: (1) Public relations and information spreading using soil doctors, volunteers, community leaders, and sub-district administrative organizations who clarify project details to community leaders, sub-district administrative organizations and farmers; (2) Planning demonstration sites; (3) Selection of farmers interested in participating in the project. These farmers must have agricultural land in the recharge area and within the project focus of the LDD; (4) Providing knowledge and advice to those farmers participating in the project; (5) The preparation of the demonstration plot, with a shallow well, in the farmer's land.
The demonstration plot implemented in the recharge area under Mr. Boonchu Supho is planted with rice, sugar cane and various kinds of vegetables throughout the year, for greater productivity. Importantly, even in droughts it is still possible to pump enough groundwater for the crops. Rice yield have increased up to 5-10%, surface salt patches have decreased significantly, and the surrounding environment has more vegetation and living things. The farmers outside the area and surrounding areas have come to learn in the demonstration plot and want to engage in the project. The area covered by demonstration plots has risen to about 1,000 rai (160 hectares).

Academic Group for Land Development, Land Development Office District 3, has cooperation from soil volunteer doctor, community leaders and the district administration organization to help publicize and coordinate with farmers in the area. Thus farmers have enough water for agriculture. The result of groundwater pumping on the recharge area can reduce the amount of salty groundwater that will flow into the bottom water area. The result of this approach is reduced soil salinity. Therefore, the project to prevent the increase of groundwater levels on the recharge area. Therefore appropriate to be used in the recharge area to reduce the spread of saline soil effectively. In addition, farmers in the area need to join a large number of shallow pond excavation projects of the Department of Land Development, resulting in faster expansion

6.5 Debilidades/ desventajas del Enfoque y formas de sobreponerse a ellos

Debilidades/ desventajas/ riesgos desde la perspectiva del usuario de la tierra	¿Cómo sobreponerse a ellas?
1) Other farmers want to join the shallow well pond project because of the need for water for agriculture but the budget of the Department of Land Development is insufficient for farmers' needs.	The Department of Land Development supports the budget for drilling a shallow pond of 15 farm ponds/year. Must be fully qualified to be considered for participation in the project that the farmer who will join the project must have agricultural land on the water receiving area and within the scope of the project according to the plan of the Land Development Department.
2) During 1 year after drilling a shallow well, farmers must pump water from shallow wells for agriculture and maintain shallow wells as usual	The Land Development Department officials issued follow-up and advice periodically to allow farmers who participated in the project to help ensure the use of shallow wells for agriculture appropriately

Debilidades/ desventajas/ riesgos desde la perspectiva del compilador o de otra persona de referencia clave	¿Cómo sobreponerse a ellas?
1) Farmers outside the project are not aware of the steps and qualifications of the participants in the shallow pond project of the Land Development Department	There should be a public relations project for farmers in nearby areas to be informed of the request for participation in the shallow well pond project of the Land Development Department
