Abstract:     Irrigation water management has significant economic implications in developing countries like Malaysia. In many countries, the Internet has become an element in people’s daily life, offering new possibilities for information access and sharing. In this new technological and information age, water is becoming a source of conflict between domestic, industrial and agricultural use. WebPIPA is a platform allowing for a public participation in solving disputes and resolving decision making processes in conflicting situations, especially in cases involving many stakeholders. A 3 – tier architecture framework was carefully studied and was implemented to create the WebPIPA model. WebPIPA is an Internet Based Model that is created to benefit the users in the water management sectors in order to make timely decisions on irrigation water supply. Government and private agencies, researchers, station users, farmers, investors and buyers related to this study area will be able to access the database through the internet. By strengthening the involvement of government departments, the database can be very effectively used by all stakeholders at the same time narrowing the gap between the urban and rural communities in the development of country.
