While typhoons and floods are highly visible, droughts are slow-onset disasters. As more prolonged dry seasons appear to be inevitable in South and Southeast Asia, it is important for the involved stakeholders to find solutions to freshwater shortages and associated livelihood challenges. This article discusses the findings of a questionnaire conducted among 370 households living in the most drought-prone sub-district in Chachoengsao Province, located along the Eastern Economic Corridor of Thailand. The results reveal that (1) coping strategies such as reducing water consumption and occupational diversification are insufficient, (2) monoculture farming exacerbates the situation, and 3) household status affect drought risks. Consequently, many households cannot cope adequately and current coping practices do not amount to long-term adaptive capacity. Households in our research area can get by and respond in the short-term to droughts and water scarcity, yet there is no comprehensive strategy to mitigate water scarcity in the sub-district. We propose four policy refinements that could contribute to a more effective strategy. These refinements are concerned with top-down policies, bottom-up initiatives, moving away from monoculture farming, and rethinking labour market strategies.

Abstract

While typhoons and floods are highly visible, droughts are slow-onset disasters. As more prolonged dry seasons appear to be inevitable in South and Southeast Asia, it is important for the involved stakeholders to find solutions to freshwater shortages and associated livelihood challenges. This article discusses the findings of a questionnaire conducted among 370 households living in the most drought-prone sub-district in Chachoengsao Province, located along the Eastern Economic Corridor of Thailand. The results reveal that (1) coping strategies such as reducing water consumption and occupational diversification are insufficient, (2) monoculture farming exacerbates the situation, and 3) household status affect drought risks. Consequently, many households cannot cope adequately and current coping practices do not amount to long-term adaptive capacity. Households in our research area can get by and respond in the short-term to droughts and water scarcity, yet there is no comprehensive strategy to mitigate water scarcity in the sub-district. We propose four policy refinements that could contribute to a more effective strategy. These refinements are concerned with top-down policies, bottom-up initiatives, moving away from monoculture farming, and rethinking labour market strategies.
