Sketch of water treatment facilities for Battambang.
According to a press release issued by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the government of Japan is providing about $33.55 million in grants for the project that will help to solve water shortage problems in Kampong Cham and Battambang cities.

“The new water supply facilities will not only substantially improve the water supply service, but also increase the current low coverage ratio (45 percent in Battambang, 35 percent in Kampong Cham) to 85 percent in both cities by 2019,” the press release said.

The letter added that the project will also help about 119,000 people in those cities have safe and clean water that, in turn, will improve public hygiene, reduce water-related diseases and cut down the hard work of women and children in terms of bringing water from natural sources to their homes.

The project is focusing on building facilities for raw water transmission, building facilities for water treatment, building facilities for water distribution, providing equipment and materials for service connections and providing technical assistance for the operation and maintenance of all facilities.

For poor households, special assistance will be set up for them to be able to connect to the clean-water system...
