Drainage system
The drainage system in Siemrap City has been extremly damaged.
People have dumped soil into the ancient canals, especially
along National Road 6. Even if they burry a pipe in the
canal underneath the soil, the diameter is usually not big
to release the water from the road rapidly. In addition,
some of of the new hotels are built upon the old canal,
so some of the roads in the city are flooded after heavy
rains. If the department does not have the proper strategy
to deal with this problem, then the road infrastructure
will be destroyed someday.

a heavy rain storm in Siemreap City (along the Sivutha Road)
|
| The department has plans to renovate the old
drainage system, however not in the entire city. It is divided
into two areas, the North of the city is the responsibility
of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Southern part
of the city is the department's responsibility, funded by
French government aid (AFD). The department has submitted
its project to AFD. If accepted, the southern part of the
city will no longer be flooded after heavy rain. |

According to this map, the
plan is to release the water from the Eastern part of the
city and then lead it to the west water reservior, which
is located in the far Eastern part of the city.
