river level

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Indeed, I read this great piece about the impact already, and it sounds very bleak for poor Cambodians

It doesn't look good at all. The water and electrical shortages earlier this year were disruptive enough but now we are likely facing a much bigger problem.

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.

Is this being reported in any local news outlets to locals? I haven't heard Khmer people talking about it yet...

Yeah I mentioned it last year, but I sense we haven't seen the end of the water/power cuts during the dry season either.
