The formulation of the Mun basin’s integrated water-resources management involved the public participation throughout the project duration. The public participation process must be undertaken with the coordination of the basin sub-committee, working groups in regional level, central administration level, and within local organizations, through group meetings and seminars held in the basin area.
The basin covers the entire area of Nakhon Ratchasima, Buri Ram, Surin, Si Saket, Ubon Ratchathani, Amnat Charoen, Yasothon, Roi Et, Maha Sarakham, Khon Kaen, and minor parts of Chaiyaphum, Mukdahan, Nakhon Nayok, Prachin Buri and Sa Kaeo.

The study on the formulation of the integrated plan for water-resources management in the Mun Basin covers the following tasks :
- Survey and collect fundamental socio-economic data, natural water sources and man-made water sources data, including surface water sources and groundwater sources, as well as problems occurring in the basin, and other data necessary for the water-resources management.
- Study and analyze the water-resources potential in each sub-basin and also classify the water sources as the developed ones and the ones with sufficient potential to be developed in the future in harmony with the potential of other related resources such as land, forest and environment.
- Collect and analyze the studies and plans undertaken by diverse organizations so as to summarize them as the previous works and suggest guidelines for the future implementation.
- Coordinate water-resources management works through the process of joint meetings of the basin management sub-committee, local organizations, people and stakeholders in order to interview and collect opinions on problems, needs and water-resources management concepts.
- Formulate some strategic plans for water-resources management, which have to be consistent with public needs and provincial strategic plans in the basin as well as the country’s plan.
- Propose a master plan in water-resources management, which will have to be implemented in the future systematically and as the integrated system. This plan will be used in water sources development, flood prevention and flood relief, sustainable water-resources management, and conservation of water-resources and water quality.
- Propose some effective measures to solve the problems comprising both constructional measures and non-constructional measures, by considering the framework of 5, 10, 15 and 20-year implementation.
