Cambodia’s Preah Vihear province is building a reservoir at a cost of over 100 million USD to supply water for agricultural rice crops during the dry season, the Khmer Times reported.
Speaking at a press conference in Phnom Penh on May 26, Preah Vihear’s Deputy Governor Kousom Bunsoeut said Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen had approved a budget of about 100 USD million for the construction of the reservoir.
Construction of the dam started in late 2019 and is expected to conclude in 2022.
