Water shipped to parched Banteay Meanchey locale
At least 600 families in the remote Svay Chek district of Banteay Meanchey province are being threatened by a shortage of drinking water that began earlier this month, a provincial official said on 16 February.
The water in the wells and rivers has been drying up due to the lack of rain so far this year, forcing many villagers to buy drinking water, said Khu Pov, Svay Chek’s district governor.
