Abstract—The project was set the objective as following 1) Screening for advantage and disadvantage of ten former check dam in Thailand. 2) Making the proper check dam for portable type. 3) Collected the concerned data on preserving water from rainy season up to dry Season. The procedure was done by the three groups of researchers from Rambhai Barni Rajabhat University, Local administrator and local farmer to come together in the field and make a final conclusions among the groups in each step by step at Tambol Huay-Rang, Amphoe Maung, Trad province. For making pilot model was divided into 6 step as following 1) Take a consideration to former check dam in Thailand 2) Making inforcement structure by comparative studies for 5 kinds of local materials 3) Making reinforcement structure by comparative studies for 4 kinds of local materials 4) Sealing for the water control both of sealing and level of water by comparative studies for 4 kinds of local materials 5) Making proper reservoir. 6) The completed portable small check dams for water preservation from rainy season up to dry season in Trad Province getting the achievement. The researchers can get achievement with 5 Portable Small Check Dams.

Index Terms—Portable small check dams; Low cost; localmaterial utilization; Water preservation from rainy season upto dry Season.
