Project Justification 1a. Project Description 1.a.1. Adaptation problems, root causes, and barriers that need to be addressed (systems description). Country Context The Kingdom of Cambodia is situated on the southern part of the Indochina peninsula, spanning a total land area of 181,035 km2. The country is located within the tropical Indomalayan ecozone and the topography consists of a coastal area along the southwest of the country and low-lying central plains, including the Tonle Sap basin and the Mekong River flood-plains, which are surrounded by mountainous and highland regions. Cambodia is bisected by the Mekong River Basin, which runs from north to south through the country. Cambodia?s hydrology is dominated by the Mekong River and its major tributaries, including the Tonle Sap River, which joins the Tonle Sap Lake. The Mekong?s water disperses into the wetlands of the central plains and heavily affects the seasonal nature of the Tonle Sap Lake, including both regular monsoon flooding in the basins and localized droughts in the plains. Cambodia has a tropical monsoon climate, characterized by a rainy season and a dry season. The rainy season,
