Vital Irrigation & Drainage Rehabilitation Project in Southwest Phnom Penh 10% Complete

The Roleang Chrey and Stung Bati sub-projects of the Irrigation and Drainage Improvement and Rehabilitation Project in the southwest of Phnom Penh have successfully achieved a commendable 10% completion. This milestone was reported by the Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology (MoWRM) on 30 January 2024.

During his visit to the project sites, HE Minister Tho Chetha emphasized the crucial role of this initiative in responding to water shortages in the Chbar Morn, Samrong Tong, and Kong Pisey districts of Kampong Speu province, caused by the closure of the Roleang Chrey River. The minister highlighted the collaborative efforts of the Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology MoWRM, the Provincial Department of Water Resources, relevant authorities, and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in ensuring a reliable water supply for the affected regions. As part of the intervention, the main Rolang Chrey water gate was reopened, benefitting local farmers and safeguarding irrigation systems.

The Irrigation and Drainage Improvement and Rehabilitation Project in Phnom Penh’s southwest comprises two essential sub-projects. The first, the Rolang Chrey sub-project, spans Chbar Morn City and Samrong Tong district in Kampong Speu province, covering 12.60km and involving 207 related constructions. The second sub-project, Kandal Stung Bati, is situated in Kandal Steung district, Kandal Province, and Bati district, Takeo Province, with a 4km concrete canal diverting water from Stung Prek Tnaot and Stung Touch to Tonle Bati. This sub-project includes 33 related structures.

Commencing on 13 June 2023, with generous development assistance from Japan, this pivotal irrigation and drainage rehabilitation project is scheduled for completion in June 2026, underscoring its long-term commitment to bolstering Cambodia’s agricultural infrastructure and ensuring water security for the region.
