Dry-season rice ‘saved’ using Takeo Lake water
Mon, 8 March 2021
Takeo provincial authorities have decided to drain water from Takeo Lake to save 130ha of rice in the villages of Khan Khao, Trapaing Leak and Svay Russey in Donkeo town’s Baray commune.
The decision came after representatives of approximately 20 families from the area went to provincial governor Ouch Phea’s residence on March 7 to seek help.
Phea confirmed to The Post that after receiving the request, he instructed officials to carry out an inspection and see if there really was a shortage of irrigation water due to Canal 15 drying up as they had claimed.
