Abstract: The great demand for water is increasing leading to water scarcity especially in the dry season in northeastern Thailand. However, the severity of the water scarcity in each area depending on the physical geography and the amount of water dependency of the area. In the first part of midpoint impact assessment is focusing on agricultural water scarcity, which considered water stress in each river basin. The stress can be defined by using water consumption in the area to water availability and consider agricultural water scarcity effected on agricultural productivity. To evaluate the effects of water scarcity on agricultural products, an additional food stock was also considered due to agriculture may be affected by water shortages resulting in yields decreased leading to malnutrition damage. However, the decreasing of yields cannot be concluded that shortage of agricultural productivity will affect to malnutrition damage if there is a small quantity of export and a large quantity of import. Therefore, additional food stock is considered a social vulnerability. Apart from midpoint impact assessment which describe agricultural water shortage in river basins. The result of agricultural water shortage caused crop production loss leading to malnutrition damage. However, the crop production loss can be compensated by additional food stock. If the supply of crop production is not enough, the malnutrition will occur. Therefore, the endpoint impact assessment will focus on the assessment of crop production loss by crop types, the assessment of food supply shortage, respectively. The outcome of water stress is occurred in Mun, Shi, and Tha Chin river basins resulting in crop production lost. The crop production loss and can be compensate by additional food stock. Therefore, it cannot be summarized that agricultural water scarcity will leading to food malnutrition. The value of production loss is considered in small number because the assessment incorporates additional food stock for compensate the loss of production.
