RRA REPORT on WATERSHEDS in PURSAT and KAMPONG CHHNANG PROVINCES Watershed Profile Page 1 of 13 Regional Environmental Technical Assistance 5771 Poverty Reduction & Environmental Management in Remote Greater Mekong Subregion Watersheds Project (Phase I) RRA REPORT ON WATERSHEDS IN PURSAT AND KAMPONG CHHNANG PROVINCES Watershed Profile By Ieng Sovannora 1.0 Introduction, Rationale and Objectives 1.1 Introduction Pursat province (previously called Potisat), approximately 200 km from Phnom Penh and close to Tonle Sap, has one of Cambodia’s prime watersheds. Its protection would contribute to the protection of two wildlife sanctuaries in the area – Orall Mountain and Sam Kos. Prior to the field survey, the Study Team met the Minister of Environment, responsible for watershed management (a high priority) and wildlife sanctuaries, e.g., Orall National Park, and the Director of the Forestry Department. The Minister recommended a focus on Orall mountain. The Forestry Department, which works closely with the Ministry of Environment and other agencies, such as: CONCERN, WORLDWIDE, UNDP/CARE, and MCC, supports development of forest communities, e.g., in community forestry training and reforestation. Key Forest Department strategies are to: Eliminate "anarchic" deforestation, particularly by large-scale logging; Strengthen sustainable forest management practices; Manage forest resources and promote reforestation. Three big forest concession companies operate in Pursat: Superwood (94,499 Ha), Youri Sakor (196,310 Ha), and Great International (163,200 Ha), however, of these only the Superwood Forest Concession Company is more or less permanent and is constructing a wood processing factory. 1.2 Rationale for the study Pursat province watershed with an area of 2,423 sq. km, supports a population of 357,172, mostly poor people, 70% of whom (80% women) are considered to be at or below the poverty line. Poverty and environmental Page 2 of 13 degradation are working together to worsen the environmental and social situations. Both require specific strategies to address them. This study attempts to understand the factors linking poverty and environmental degradation. 1.3 Objectives There are five objectives, namely, to: Identify key issues on environmental aspects of forestry; Identify forest cover, forest quality and forest type; Identify the causes of deforestation, soil erosion, reduction in fresh-water volumes and fish production, and other resource loss within the watershed area; Assess the relative importance of the different causes of environmental degradation; Determine the severity of natural resources management issues, such as: land-use, slash and burn cultivation, other dry-season fires, livestock raising, water use (e.g., volume and efficiency), and the types of forest and environmental information required to address these issues. 2.0 Methodology During March, 1999, data was gathered in selected villages of two districts of Pursat province: Sompou Meas, and Phnom Krovanh, and Toek Phas district of Kampong Chhnang province. The Team met the Governor of Pursat Province, and a selection of provincial officials, NGOs, district officials, commune chiefs and villagers in both provinces (Exhibit 1) Primary data was gathered via discussions, questionnaire guided interviews and direct observation. Because of the limited time, only some officials and NGOs were met. Secondary data was gathered from the Provincial Statistics office, National Statistics centre, Department of Geographic Information and other sources. All selected villages were located along the Pursat River and its tributaries (Santrae and Arail rivers) where villagers where villagers have experience of environmental degradation.

Km, in the West of Cambodia, is remote and scarcely populated. The province is divided into six districts, 49 communes and 495 villages with a total population of 357,172. Population data are presented in Exhibit 2. It is politically and economically important for Cambodia because of its rich natural resources. For example, its watershed was chosen by the MoE to be first priority among the 3 watersheds assessed in Cambodia: Pursat, Sen and Sesan. The districts and villages for which information is reported are highlighted in the tables below.

Pursat River originates in Phnom Khmoch at Inset: Pursat River an elevation of 1,425m. Its tributaries, Santrae and Arai rivers originate on Orall Mountain at 1,813m, the highest mountain in Cambodia. The watershed has high priority as many different interests are vying to use its natural resources. Five hydro-electric dams are proposed to have a combined installed capacity of 92 MW and to provide irrigation water to 65,000 ha of land but there is no data regarding population displacement. 3.1 Information on Selected Districts and Communes Sompou Meas District, Pursat Sampou Meas, 186 km from Phnom Penh, covers 43,900 ha and has a total population of 53,591 people, 28,400 of whom are female. The district has 7 communes and 63 villages with 9,493 families (Exhibit 3).

Page 5 of 13 Phnom Krovanh District Leach Commune , situated on Road No. 56, is 28 Km from Pursat provincial town. The people are farmers, collectors of sandalwood, loggers, hunters and fishermen. Domestic animals include: cattle, buffalo, pigs, chickens and ducks; vets work in each village. Wildlife hunting and trafficking activities are low. The commune covers an area of 516,691 ha but has only 13,085 ha in cultivation, 9,500 ha in rice fields. The rest is forest and abandoned land. Forest now covers 90% of the area, down slightly from 95% in 1970. Population and other data are shown in Exhibit 4.

There are two schools and one Junior high school and refineries to extract sandalwood oil from the sandalwood. Sandalwood, called "Klem Chan", is now largely logged out. The buyers of sandal wood oil order the village suppliers to cut the trees and pull out the roots and then grind them and steam them to get the sap. A litter of sap fetches Baht 30.000 - 40.000 (Thai currency). It is sold secretly. Inset: Sandalwood in the drums is ready to be "refined" Pro-Ngil commune, located on Road No. 56 and Pursat River, has an economy based on rice and crop cultivation watered by abundant water from the river. Some families produce cane sugar. The people depend less on forest products as a source of income than other villages. The farmers of Leach and Prongil, located along the road, sell produce in the market. In Prongil, they are slightly better off and have a recreation centre at Bactra Mountain, and both communes provide a good example of community forestry where the forest is protected and managed by/for local people. However, the average standard of living is still very low and the people of both communes require training in forestry, agriculture and health care.

The objective of this study was to examine the general situation of Cambodian agriculture by comparing with neighboring countries in Southeast Asia from a period of 22 years (1996 – 2018) through cultivate areas, technical using, technologies using, fertilizer using, agricultural infrastructure system, agricultural production cost, agricultural output, agricultural market and climate change. The results show that the Cambodian agriculture sector is still at a level where there is significant need to improve the capacity of farmers, the new technologies use and the prevention of climate change. However, the production cost is still high cost and agricultural output has been in low prices. It also causes for farmers to lose confidence in farming and they will be stop working in the sector. Moreover, we also have other policies to improve agriculture sector in Cambodia. JEL classifications : F13, O13, Q13, Q16, Q18.

The data received from some licensees may not up to the required level of accuracy and hence the information provided in this report may be taken as indicative. This report is for dissemination to the Royal Government, institutions, investors and public desirous to know about the situation of the power sector of the Kingdom of Cambodia during the year 2012. With addition of more HV transmission system and MV sub-transmission system, more and more licensees are getting connected to the grid supply. This has resulted in improvement in the quality of supply to more consumers. By end of 2012, more than 91% of the consumers are connected to the grid system. More licensees are now supplying electricity for 24 hours a day. The grid supply has reduced the cost of supply and consequently the tariff for supply to consumers. Due to lower cost and other measures taken by Royal Government of Cambodia, in 2012 there has been a substantial increase in the number of consumers availing electricity supply.

  • Poverty and Socioeconomic Condition
    Uplands Irrigation and Water Resources Management Sector Project (RRP CAM 44328) POVERTY AND SOCIOECONOMIC CONDITION A. Introduction 1. This report presents the socioeconomic and poverty situation in the project areas of the Uplands Irrigation and Water Resources Management Sector Project in Cambodia. The project areas are located in the provinces of Battambang and Kampong Thom. The proposed project is planned to enhance agricultural and rural economic productivity through increased efficiency of irrigation systems and improved management of water resources. It will be implemented in two irrigation schemes, namely, Prek Chik Irrigation Scheme located in Battambang Province and Taing Krasaing Irrigation Scheme located in Kampong Thom Province. The social and poverty assessment of the project examines the socioeconomic conditions in the project areas and identifies the population that will be impacted. It identifies the existing irrigation and agriculture situation in relation to poverty condition of the existing population within the proposed irrigation schemes. It presents the poverty situation in terms of the poverty rate and identifies the vulnerable population which may be impacted by the project. B. Development Scenario and Socioeconomic Development Policies and Plans 2. Over the last decade, Cambodia has been experiencing economic development with a growth rate of 10.2% for the period of 2004–2008. Though the gross domestic product (GDP) decreased to 0.1 in 2009, it recovered in 2010 and 2011 with a growth rate of 6.0%. Agriculture, fisheries and forestry have shown tremendous growth in 2005 with 15.7% compared to other sectors such as industry with 12.7% and services with 13.1%.
