This paper discuses local people’s management strategies of common property, water resource, in a water logging area called Chatla, in Southern Assam. Since there are more than 200 such water logging areas in Assam (Deb, 1999), the implications of this study has wider significance to gain an understanding of the common property management in Assam. Also, the study assumes importance in the context of prudent utilization and sustainable management of different natural resources like land, water, fish, and wildlife and so on in the wake alternatives to industry based development, which is antithetical to the maintenance of balanced ecosystem. Social scientists’ interests in the study of ecosystem are relatively recent in India, and studies of common property management are also few. Agarwal and Narain (1989), Ballabh et al. (1992), Jodha (1994), Misra and Srivastava (1997), Upadhyaya (1994) and so on carried out such studies in India, but perhaps they are very few in northeast India. Further, in these studies we find mainly application of common property theories rather than examining of the theories. In this paper, an attempt is not only to understand the practices of common property resource management in Chatla, in Assam and also to examine some of the theories of common property management in the light of the case in Assam
