Should Cambodians be happy w/sanitation progress ?

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.

Yup the poo-farms south of 371 are almost gone now, big housing development. The Japanese are busy installing bigger drains, so maybe the poo will flow where it; supposed to, and not be used for fertilizer.

Can the bad parts of poo remain even in washed vegetables? I don't think so. And chemical fertiliser is probably way more dangerous for you.
Jesus loves you...Mexico is great, right? ;)

So, where is it supposed to flow, vlad?

I recall a couple of years back, when they first started filling Beoung Tumpon, and one of the locals said to me, "This is crazy. The city's waste water flows into that lake, and between the fish, water plants and the sun, it is naturally filtered. But now, the dirty water will just go straight into the river. That's not good."
I thought he made a good point.

I think what's more of a problem with that waste water is all the chemicals from detergents etc along with all sorts of other chemicals and heavy metals.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
