Drought Follows Flooded Rainy Season
Drought affects 13 provinces
12 November 2018
Drought has affected about 20,000ha of rice fields in 13 provinces, with Kampong Cham being the most affected, said National Committee for Disaster Management spokesman Keo Vy on Sunday.
Vy said early in the rainy season, torrential rain nationwide caused flooding and damage to roads and thousands of hectares of rice plantations.
However, in the middle of the rainy season, rainfall decreases and the drought begins in some locations, worsening towards the end of the season when lakes and ponds evaporate quickly.
This is what triggered the water shortage in 13 provinces where 19,000ha of rice fields cannot get enough water. Kampong Cham is the worst affected province with 9,000ha of rice fields, followed by Battambang, Tbong Khmum and Kampong Thom.
