Designing river flows to improve food security futures in the Lower Mekong Basin

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Hahaha, I'm not trying to find the cost, epidemiks asked for the full report, didn't he?

That's what I'm trying to get...or not.

I showed the list of authors, I suggest you write to them, I'm sure they'd be happy to work out how many individual hours went into it, and compile a report for free for you, LOL

An equally important question is where will the silt settle?

Because without silt renewing the soil, you're looking at one rice crop a year with a fallow year somewhere along the line.

Throw a drought year in, and let the fun begin!
