Objectives• to study the change process of the resources
utilization, water use patterns in intensified or commercialized agriculture.
• to understand conditions which are drivers, constraints, potentials, and opportunities in which local users choose to respond, negotiate or accommodate to those changes in two countries where socio-economic conditions differ.
• It is anticipated that the research will identify development policy gaps and opportunities for policy making process.

research questions • How does Contract Farming in the study areas
have impacts on the competing water utilization, livelihoods, socio-economic and cultures of the local users in the two selected river basins of the study area?
• How do local users’ knowledge and practices be integrated into water policy process and be reflected in practical water governance?
• How do the process of social interactions and dialogues among different stake-holders in negotiating be led to institutional arrangement for water governance?

Preliminary findingsFour main issues identified
-Land use change impacts greatly on water use
-The deterioration of wetland ecosystem
- More vulnerability as risk area (no retention common area)
-The resilience of the community towards external drivers such as climate change, market led economy
