Situation is now recovering as water levels fall and response activities underway led by Cambodian Red Cross and PCDMs in affected provinces Flooding was particularly bad along the Prek Thnout river because the dams along the river failed, it seems that the additional flow from broken dams caused a surge which damaged the downstream dams. These dams are now being repaired by MoWRaM and MoWRAM is attempting to repair the Dangkor Dam which was badly damaged by the overflowing waters. Dams in Kong Pisei, Oral and Samrong Tong districts of Kampong Speu have now been repaired in order to save water for irrigation later. NCDM reports to Phnom Penh Post that 10,000 Ha of rice paddy flooded over 8 provinces, and 3,000 expected to be lost due to water damage.
