PHNOM PENH, WED: Heavy rains have caused floods in at least four of Cambodian Preah Vihear province’s seven districts, especially along the Stueng Sen River, national media reported Wednesday.
“At least four districts have been flooded by rain and the rising Stueng Sen River. Some places have been seriously damaged by this flood,” China’s Xinhua news agency quoted provincial Deputy Governor Long Sovann as saying in the Phnom Penh Post.
He said that Tbeng Meanchey, Rovieng, Chey Sen and Kulen districts have been particularly affected.
“I do not have any reports of people’s property being damaged, but we believe some rice and farm crops have been destroyed,” Long Sovann said, adding that officials are working hard to ascertain the extent of the damage.
While the water level is still lower than it was last year, some fear that the situation will worsen as the rain continues.
Mao Pov, police chief in Preah Vihear province, said that heavy rains have affected almost all districts and that the water level continues to rise.
“A provincial town located on a hill in Tbeng Meanchey district is currently surrounded by water. Farmers from nearby villagers have been forced to relocate to the small town to avoid the flood,” Mao Pov said, adding that the water level continues to rise.

What happen to million dollars of Preah Vihear fund raising from hundred thousand companies, school, even from very poor struggling garment workers?
Do you think supporting one dictator to be a king for 29+10 years is the right thing for Cambodia?
Why Cambodians changed five regimes since 1970? Changes is the solution for stability and peace.
Don't try to mock on the loser too much. Nothing lasts forever as the buddha said about "Anata".
Don't forget that CPP can cheat young voters about Anti-Thai sentiment this time.
But not again in 2013.
Also, Kith Meng is the future Thaksin and therefore, Hun Sen will kill him one day. And Kith Meng will know in advance and so he will use pre-emptive strike in return.
Remember young students are often chatting and showing mobile phone during Hun Sen's speeches at universities.
I have network with more than 10 universities. I am very sure.
did you know that flooding sometimes is good for cambodia as it flushed out pests, critters and rodents and fish is spawning and reproducing with the flooding of the waters. so, naturally it is a blessing for the whole cambodia. just manage it better by putting in place the irrigation system to stock water for dry season uses and other purposes as well. cambodia is very bless by god for the tonle sap lake, the mighty mekong river and its alluvial soil suitable for mass agricultural production. please advice our khmer people to take advantage of this bless from god for cambodia.
also, when building roadways, make sure to elevate them higher than the flood plains of cambodia in some area, and definite, build more modern bridges and so on. god bless cambodia.
in reality, cambodia is not a poor country, we are just lack behind in technology advance and modern equipment, that's all. but, again, these things can be provided for cambodia. god bless cambodia.
