      Is there any available information about the river that passes through the village? I’m researching a possible hydroelectric energy solution for my team. I’ve also been trying to research the state of hydroelectric power in Cambodia as a whole and I was wondering if the EWB team might have some insights on that topic.

        Hi Rory,

        We’ve yet to confirm this with our EWB staff in Cambodia, but according to this resource (see Map 7) listed in the recommended readings of Design Area 2 – Water Supply, it appears that the Prek Chhlong River flows through the Kaev Seima district, where Pu Ngaol village belongs to.

        I did a quick Google search and found this hydropower country profile and hydropower plan, which are excellent starting points in understanding the current hydropower trends in Cambodia.

        I hope this helps.

        Regards,
        Jean

          I am doing Energy, specifically challenge 4.1 this year. Have there been any updates on this information?

            Hi Lachlan,

            More information on the river? Yes, please check out water supply section of the discussion forum and there are some river topography related questions as well as water sources. Hope that helps.

            Cheers,
            Sai

              Looking at some other threads I would assume a pico-hydro system is not ideal as the head would not be very high as beyond Kratie it is only around 0.03m/km.
