To promote collaboration on water management between farmers and government agencies, both parties must have a mutual understanding of the measurement and management of available water resources using existing infra‐ and non‐infrastructure management tools. They are required to provide collaborative water management through appropriate technology, with capacity building and knowledge management. In this study, the water balance model was used as a tool to induce participation and the promotion of a joint water use at the river basin level. The amount and proportion of water use from different types of water sources were calculated based on this water balance model. Moreover, farmers were encouraged to help with water flow measurements using technologies and principles that were simple but accurate in terms of engineering aspects. According to the analyses of water use proportions, a large amount of water from pumping stations was used during the dry season at high cost. When aware of the proportion of water used, farmers collaboratively established guidelines on an effective water management in the area, including large‐scale viewpoints applicable beyond the actual areas. Overall, these guidelines will eventually bring positive results to other downstream water users.

水平衡模型作为流域一级参与建筑和促进联合用水的工具*

为了促进农民与政府机构之间在水资源管理方面的合作，双方必须对使用现有基础设施和非基础设施管理工具对可用水资源的计量和管理有相互了解。他们需要通过适当的技术，能力建设和知识管理来提供协作的水管理。在这项研究中，水平衡模型被用作在流域层面上诱导参与和促进联合用水的工具。基于该水平衡模型，计算了不同类型水源的用水量和比例。此外，鼓励农民使用简单但在工程方面准确的技术和原理来帮助进行水流量测量。根据用水比例的分析，在旱季，大量使用了抽水站的水，成本很高。当意识到用水量时，农民们就该地区的有效水资源管理制定了合作准则，包括适用于实际地区以外的大规模观点。总体而言，这些准则最终将为其他下游用水户带来积极的成果。
