This dissertation argues that recent moves by the Cambodian government to transform this site into an "historical-tourist area" is overwhelmingly dominated by commercial priorities. However, the tourism project simultaneously effects an historical narrative that inherits but transforms the government's historiographic endeavors that immediately followed Democratic Kampuchea's 1979 ousting.

    Kingdom of Cambodia Nation Religion King Climate Resilience for Provincial Road Improvement Project Loan 2839-CAM (SF)/ 8254-CAM and Grant 0278-CAM Infrastructure Rehabilitation for Climate Resilience Toek Phos District, Kampong Chhnang Province KHSAET LAKE DREDGING 17 December 2015 1 LOCATION OF WORKS Khsaet Lake is located south of Tuek Phos district in Kampong Chhnang province. 2 2 WATER CAPTURE KHSAET LAKE, TUEK PHOS 2.1 Background This lake was created artificially by the villagers who constructed a dam across a natural drainage basin into which a stream runs. A local road runs on top of the dam. Two sluice gates allow the captured water to overflow and be directed to the nearby rice fields. The villagers wish to deepen the lake by excavating it further. This will increase the capacity of the lake and give water supplies during the dry season. Since the new water volume will be below the sluice gate base slab level, the new volume will need to be pumped out by the community. The dredged material will be disposed in a nearby land and can be used for minor work purposes of the community. Khsaet Lake existing embankment and sluice gates 2.2 Objectives The objectives of this project are to restore original irrigation water sources by rehabilitating the sluice gates and providing additional non-irrigation water source to local villagers and farming communities by dredging the lake bed. 2.3 Overview The rainwater catchment area of the lake is shown in red in the figure below. The road structure that acts as a dike is about 80 m long and raises currently at about 3.5 m above the bottom level of the lake.
