Drought in Kampong Speu

Cambodian farmers plant rice in a paddy field in Kampong Speu province August 21, 2012. A drought has hit Cambodia during its rainy season destroying more than 100,000 hectares of crops across the country, a government spokesman told Reuters on Tuesday. According to National Committee for Disaster Management (NCDM) a total of 100,476 hectares of crops had already been ruined as the result of no rain for 6 weeks beginning in June, while another 135,444 hectares of crops were at risk of being destroyed in 14 provinces and cities.

Only one more week will be September, the end of raining season and there is no water in the field?

Look at those poor souls trying to plant rice.
