Several irrigation projects have been implemented in the semi-arid Northeast of Thailand during the past two decades. But the average yield of paddy of the region has not been satisfactorily increased. This study shows that to obtain the high and reliable yield the irrigation system needs to be improved and upgraded. Moreover, the emphasis should not be placed solely upon the rice production and the diversification programme should be introduced to avoid the risk of rice price fluctuation.
