%X A total of 300,000 ha in the Chao Phraya delta are still cropped with deepwater and floating rice varieties. The paper describes the specific patterns of water management required by such systems and provides information on current varieties and cropping techniques used. A water balance of the delta in the wet season is achieved, in order to discuss the role of the flood prone area in flood mitigation. It is shown how collected data can be used to monitor how much data is stored and where there is still buffering capacity. Last, the paper shows different possible paths of evolution of these areas in order to intensify production and farmers' incomes. (Résumé d'auteur)
