Narrative

There are two dams planned for the Stung Battambang, but the larger of the two, known as Stung Battambang No. 1, the letter of permission; Pre-feasibility Study by Korean company. There is little data available about reservoir size or number of people to be displaced. The dam is one of three possible dams in the Stung Battambang basin; the other two would block two tributaries to the Stung Battambang: the Stung Mongkol Borey and the Stung Sangker. The MRC's draft Work Programme 1997 seeks US$630,000 for a "Development Plan of the Stung Battambang and Stung Mongkol Borey River Basins"; the development objective, "to utilize the water resources of both the Stung Battambang (Sangker) and Stung Mongkol Borey River basins for irrigation and hydropower generation..." The dam (or dams) is one of the three top priority projects of the CNMC. The World Bank has expressed interest in funding the study according to the CNMC, but is awaiting "security" in the area.
