Water Demand in A3, A4 & A5 Regions Water Supply by Surface and Ground Water Phetchaburi Flows at Diversion Dam Canal Diversions at Phetchaburi Dam Fig.4 Results of model calibration for the historic period 2000 through 2005, showing the agriculture demand and supply for the A3 and A4 coastal region (top), the flows at Phetchaburi (bottom-left) and the groundwater storage in the A4 region A water management policy framework was used to develop a set of future scenarios based on a set of underling principles. The first principle is that the framework should distinguish between a set of underlying assumptions that are used to establish Business- As-Usual (BAU) scenarios and a set of policy interventions that form the basis of a set of water management policy scenarios. The BAU scenarios define the baseline and future assumptions that are predominantly outside the control of water managers, such as the future climate conditions and the regional population growth; and include the policies that have historically been in place. A second principle is that the policy scenarios should be plausible, policy-oriented narratives that account for the unique perspectives and characteristics of the region and its culture. For Thailand, this means that they should consider priorities of development, the importance of tourism and cultural heritage, and the significance of agriculture and environmental protection. The final principle for this analysis is that the policy scenarios should be quantifiable. That is, policy interventions that can only be characterized in a qualitative sense relative to their impacts on the water system are not explicitly considered Proceedings of the International Conference on Climate Change, Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services for the 245 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Policy and Practice 27-29 June 2016, Cha-am, Phetchaburi, Thailand
