Banteay Meanchey governor predicts water woes
The governor of Banteay Meanchey on 21 December warned of potentially dire water shortages in the province and said that authorities will begin constructing a small dam on the Serei Sophon River to keep the water from escaping.
Pumping from other rivers, lakes and reservoirs will also be required to meet the province’s need towards the end of the dry season, Governor Kor Sum Sarith said in a telephone interview. He added that residents must do everything they can to conserve water.
