Project Description

---

The project supports resilient water governance and biodiversity conservation in the Cambodian Mekong Delta, with a focus on Boeng Sneh Lake. It will establish a hydrological baseline through bathymetric surveys, water-level monitoring, evapotranspiration assessment, and irrigation demand analysis; co-design and test a scenario-based Decision Support System with the DTWG, FWUCs, and CFis; strengthen stakeholder capacity; support participatory water planning; validate a Boeng Sneh Management Plan; and share knowledge for scaling and policy uptake.
