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.

Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided. :stir:

I think you have to be Chinese to do that trick.

Im not sure but reading up about it its effecting fisherpeople in a big way, likely to be a lot of people moving to PP looking for work. Also effecting all the other countries in the region. water seems to be going off at night in PP already. also a week or 2 ago the dictator apologized for up coming power cuts

Serious question JB...

When do you think the power cuts will begin. I think it was March this year, but according to HE on 7th November, cuts are likely by year end. Is that a reliable statement do you think? Or perhaps predict doom and gloom and take credit if they can keep the lights on until March?

The water level is at Phnom Penh. Although it is significantly lower than last year, is it relevant? Isn't the water level the other side of the Hydro Plants the key measure?

And here is the new 400-megawatt Lower Sesan 2 with its current water levels...

I think you are going to be out of luck there. the bottom is 10m below sea level, in PP anyway
