“…The For many countries, large dams have become an ideal infrastructure for supporting water needs either consumption, irrigation or hydropower (Chen et al, 2016). Moreover, irrigation investment in developed countries is seen to have played role in reducing poverty levels (Nguyen et al, 2017;Yigzaw et al, 2019). As a result, attempts to increase the number of large dams continued in accordance with the rise in national and regional economic growth in many countries (Shi et al, 2019).…”

In addition to solving the problem of water shortage for irrigation, energy and consumption, thepolicy of building large dam is also expected to improve population-welfare. However, previousstudies suggest that people living near dams have less benefit from the existence of large dam. Thisstudy aims to provide empirical evidence the effect of large dam development on welfare tohousehold living in sub-districts around large dam placement using National Socio-EconomicSurvey (SUSENAS) data in 2013-2018 from Central Bureau of Statistics and spatial large dam datain Indonesia. Estimated results indicate that addition large dam tend to be negatively correlated by2.4-3.1 % with household consumption implying a tendency of decreasing welfare in localhouseholds. Estimated findings using Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) in 2007 and 2014 shownegative correlation likely to be caused by lower agricultural productivity and work activity. Thisresult show there are economic agents who suffer from large water - infrastructure especiallyhouseholds living in sub-districts close to the dam.

“…Moreover, Bidzakin et al (2018) suggests that irrigation utilization should be intensely promoted to rice farmers to increase rice productivity and profits. Nguyen et al (2017) indicated that irrigation increases the land area for rice, corn and potato in Vietnam. Madhusudan and Narayanamoorthy (2003) examined the impact of irrigation on the reduction of rural poverty in India.…”

The demand for water is rising rapidly, particularly in agricultural and environmental sectors. This has led to more competition to access limited and scarce water resources. Therefore, choosing an appropriate approach to manage water resources, distribution and allocation, to attain sustainable agriculture is critical for every country worldwide. The most well-known method to preserve or store water and adaptation strategy to climate change is irrigation. This paper wished to understand the impact of irrigation on farmers’ income in Laos, especially from rice, which is the main crop of rural people. The difference in differences (DID) method was employed to estimate the regression results. The DID was estimated by the pooled OLS of the effect on the log of households’ rice farm income and log of households’ total income with household head’s age, education, gender, household size, ethnicity and harvest areas variables pointing out the coefficients of the outcome variables of interest (after treatment) were 0.037 and 0.076 with positive sign but statistically insignificant. The result implies irrigation has no impact on rice products. In other words, irrigation does not increase households’ income. The finding indicates the type of irrigation, the location of the operation headquarters and the management system or governance are crucial factors for explaining the impact of irrigation on the rice products in Laos.

“…These results also highlight important links between small-scale irrigation, livestock, and dietary diversity. In Region VI, we find livestock ownership and income to have increased, similar to findings from previous studies in Mali, Nepal and Vietnam (Dillon, 2011;ADB, 2012;Nguyen et al, 2017). Furthermore, enhanced livestock activities may have also contributed to improved dietary diversity in Region VI, as further analysis indicated that the project had a significantly positive impact on the consumption of both meat and eggs in the region.…”
