Sambor-dam01

Mr Leurn Sittar, 50, ploughs his field next to the Mekong River with buffalo. He says that the alluvial sediment left behind as the wet season flood waters recede, help to fertilise the soil and the proximity of the field to the river means the plants can reach water. The village will be submerged by floodwaters if the Sambor hydropower dam goes ahead as scheduled. Mr Sittar is worried that his family might have to leave the house that he built in 2011. Domrae Village, Koh Tnaot Island, Kratie Province, Cambodia.
