Project Characteristics and Results
Emphasis on Sustainable Livelihoods
Most of Cambodian farmers depend on rainfall as their only source of water. Rainfall levels during the months from October till April are extremely low and as such the chances of growing alternatives crops are reduced. The scarcity and competition for water in the dry season stand as a major threat to future advances in poverty alleviation in the above two districts. Clean and safe water is a key necessity for life and livelihood security through growing crops and raising animals. When rainfall is not sufficient farmers are severely restricted as to what they can produce.
The specific objectives of SISL are (i) to improve the living condition of community by distribution of ceramic water filter in order to make them having safe drinking water, and (ii) to ensure water supply to increasing agriculture productivity and diversification of community through supporting small scale irrigation system.
Notable Community Participation
The proposed project will directly benefit some 250 participants with an estimated 1250 indirect family to have rabbit water filter for safe drinking water and for the public uses including schools, health center and pagoda of some 150 rabbit water filters.
The small irrigation system will make water sources available widely within the community for more than 20 villages in two commune of Ou Reang Ov and Tboung Khmum districts to increase their agriculture production and diversification especially growing rice from one time to three times per year.
The formation of water user committee should allow farmers to continue to monitor water supplies, their environment and improve their agriculture after the project finishes.
