Abstract
To solve the problem of storing good clean rainwater for use
during the long dry season in Thailand, a rainwater cistern system is required
. But. as usually found in most rural villages in Thailand, the villagers'
socio-techno-economic background and their capability to understand certain
technologies involved are not up to the point where they can make wise
decisions in selecting appropriate technology. This paper discusses the
principle of self-reliance of rural Thai people illustrated -with case study at
Ban Pa-La-U-Bon, Province of Prachuabkirikand, 250 km Southwest of Bangkok.
