Japan wades in on Tonle Sap algae
The Japan International Cooperation Agency has agreed to oversee a project to help recover water quality in the Tonle Sap lake in response to the appearance of a large bloom of algae. The project is part of a wider five-year initiative to improve water quality in the kingdom, according to Say Bora, the program officer at JICA. Mr. Bora said the project is expected to create an environmental database on Tonle Sap lake, plus a platform and analytic tools for monitoring the water environment there.
