It's still flooding around the palace/street 240 where the Japanese put in a huge sediment chamber:

After that storm yesterday it looks like we have another plot of vacant land on riverside to plant a date palm tree.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Re: RE: Re: Heavy Rain in Phnom Penh
The new drainage system works - nothing can cope with the deluge of torrential rain, but the water recedes within an hour once the rain stops. In the past, those flooded streets would stay flooded for 6+ hours.willyhilly wrote:The Kandal Market is probably a little damp as well. The expensive Japanese flood alleviation scheme is certainly paying off. It must have been thoroughly corrupted.

Government Blames Development Company for Road Collapse
by Ouch Sony | June 10, 2016 | អានជាភាសាខ្មែរ
A government investigation into the collapse of a road next to Phnom Penh’s Olympic Stadium during a flash flood on Wednesday has concluded that a powerful development company’s adjacent construction site was at fault, officials said on Thursday.
A roughly 20-meter section of Street 161 bordering the sprawling Olympia City development in Prampi Makara district—owned by Overseas Cambodia Investment Corporation (OCIC)—gave way during the midday storm, swallowing a parked Honda SUV and damaging two other cars.
Deputy district governor Heak Chanleang initially claimed that the collapse had occurred when floodwaters eroded a sewer beneath the road, but on Thursday said a team of municipal-level experts had determined that OCIC was responsible for the sinkhole.
“The main problem was caused by the OCIC company, which is constructing the building on the west side of the street,” he said.
According to Mr. Chanleang, an inspection of the area revealed that the company had dredged the site and used metal supports to protect the area against landslides, but that the columns failed to do their job during Wednesday’s downpour.
“They could not stop the water…from seeping through to the pit they had dug for the parking lot,” he said. “It dragged the earth from the edge of the street, and the erosion from the water caused the collapse.”

It took less than 24 hours for someone to cut and carry away the best timber off this tree, will it take 24 years for someone to plant another tree here. This is
on the prime tourist strip that attracts , probably millions of dollars every year, and should stand out as a [ best ] example of the lovely Cambodia that tourist want to see.
I always wonder [ in the kingdom of wunder why ] why money is spent in other areas , but not in the prime tourist strip.
