Boeng Sneh Lake, one of Prey Veng’s most important floodplain ecosystems, has reached a new milestone in its journey toward sustainable water and fisheries management. In late 2025, the District Technical Working Group (DTWG) in Ba Phnom successfully secured support from the Provincial Department of Water Resources and Meteorology (PDoWRAM) to replace the deteriorated water gate that regulates flows in and out of the lake. This achievement is far more than an infrastructure upgrade-it is a clear demonstration of how local cooperation, cross-sector dialogue, and community-centered planning can translate into real investment and tangible improvements for people and ecosystems.
