Kampong Thom: Mr. Hak Mong Huot, Governor of Taing Kork District, Kampong Thom Province, on July 22, 2026, led his colleagues and the authorities of Sralao and Triel communes to inspect and urgently arrange for water to be brought to the dry rice fields of the people, who are facing a serious water shortage due to the dry weather and no rain for many days.
The intervention came after receiving information about the drying up of water sources and concerns from residents about their rice crops. The action shows the district administration’s high regard for the plight of farmers, who rely primarily on agriculture. Water shortages can damage rice crops and affect residents’ livelihoods. Therefore, timely intervention is crucial to save crops and ensure food security in the region.
On that occasion, District Governor Hak Mong Huot also instructed the team to use existing means to pump and drain water from the nearest water source into the people’s rice fields quickly and efficiently.
Mr. Hak Mong Huot also called on citizens to participate in preserving and using water economically to ensure the sustainability of water supply for the next growing season. Through this effort, it is expected that the people’s rice crops will be able to escape damage and ensure a good yield.
Many families in the two communes expressed their joy and deep gratitude for the intervention of the district and commune authorities who came to solve their challenges in a timely manner.
