Confluence of the River Mun and River Chi
Location:	15°10'-15°15'N, l04°35'-l04°50'E; the Lower Mae Nam Chi in Kanthararom District, Sisaket Province, together with its confluence with the Mae Nam Mun, downstream along the Mae Nam Mun to Muang District, Ubon Ratchathani Province.
Area:	9,750 ha.
Altitude:	c.120m.
Biogeographical Province:	4.10.4.
Wetland type:	11, 15, 18 & 19.
Description of site:	An area of riverine marshes flanking both banks of the rivers and in places extending up to three or four km back from the banks. The marshes are probably subject to overspill from the Mun and Chi Rivers during the late wet season, with flooding most marked during October and November. The human population density is fairly high, and the site borders on the provincial town of Ubon at its downstream margin. The site has been identified from Land Use Classification Division Maps, and has not been ground-checked.
Climatic conditions:	Tropical monsoonal climate.
Principal vegetation:	No information is available on the aquatic vegetation. Adjacent areas are mainly under cultivation, but a few small patches of dry dipterocarp woodland persist.
Land tenure:	No information.
Conservation measures taken:	None.
Conservation measures proposed:	The area should be surveyed in order to determine its conservation value.
Land use:	Fishing and rice cuitivation rice cultivation in surrounding areas (one crop of dry-season rice per year).
Possible changes in land use:	The westward urban spread of Ubon Ratchathani town is encroaching upon the wetland.
Disturbances and threats:	Probably hunting and the cutting and burning of tall grass and other riparian vegetation combined with a generally high level of human use of the area.
Economic and social values:	No information.
Fauna:	No information.
Special floral values:	Land Use Classification Division (1977-1979).
