Item Working Paper on Population Growth and Natural Resource Pressures in Pursat Catchment(Working Paper, 2013-12) Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology, Cambodia; Tonle Sap Authority; Supreme National Economic Council, Cambodia; Hatfield Consultants; Culture and Environment Preservation AssociationThis project examined the linkages between population and demand for food and water. Cambodia, in general, and Pursat Province in particular, have a complex and interesting mosaic of demographic attributes and development issues. The Tonle Sap basin and Pursat catchment possess the country’s largest potential water resources. These resources have the ability to support on-going economic development, including irrigation and agricultural production, fisheries and aquaculture, energy and forest products, navigation and other modes of transport, domestic and industrial water use and tourism.Item Environmental water demand of the Srepok catchment, and the importance of maintaining environmental water flows(Report, 2013) MK17 Project TeamSông Sêrêpôk là chi lưu cấp I của sông Mê Kông, do hai nhánh Krông Ana và Krông Knô hợp thành. Dòng chính tương đối dốc, chảy từ cao độ 400m ở nhập lưu xuống cao độ 150m ở biên giới Campuchia. Theo báo cáo hiện trạng môi trường tỉnh Đăk Lắc năm 2010, các điểm quan trắc chất lượng nước sông Srepok được giám sát từ năm 2002 – 2009 tại các vị trí sau:Item Assessment of the impacts from WSI on agricultural activities; and how changes in agricultural activities are affecting WSI(Report, 2013) MK17 Project TeamSông Srepok là con sông lớn nhất của Tây Nguyên và là một trong những chi lưu chính của sông Mekong, bắt nguồn từ dãy Trường Sơn chảy về hường Tây đổ vào sông Mekong gần Strung Treng. Sông có diện tích lưu vực 29.500 km2 trong đó nằm trên lãnh thổ Việt Nam 18.264 km2, chia ra làm 2 lưu vực tách biệt là lưu vực thượng Srepok 12.133 km2 và lưu vực suối EAĐrăng- EALốp- EAHLeo 5.851 km2. Chảy dài qua địa phận các tỉnh Đak Lak, Đak Nông, Gia Lai và Lâm Đồng, lưu vực sông Srepok có ý nghĩa hết sức quan trọng không những đối với Tây Nguyên nói riêng mà còn có ý nghĩa quan trọng trong việc đảm bảo an ninh quốc phòng của nước ta nói chung bởi lưu vực có đường biên giới chung với Cam Pu Chia dài 240 km.Item INTERACTION BETWEEN GROUNDWATER RESOURCES, AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION AND WATER EXPLOITATION INFRASTRUCTURE IN SREPOK RIVER BASIN (VIETNAM)(Working Paper, 2013) MK17 Project TeamIn Vietnamese: In the past decades, the exploitation and use of water resources (surface and groundwater) and the prevention and control of water-caused disasters in the Srepok River Basin have gained important achievements, contributing greatly to socio-economic development of the basin. However, we have not been fully aware in a long time of the meaning and importance of sustainable water resources exploitation and use for socio-economic development, life, health and environment, we have not paid enough attention to the management and protection as well as planning of water resources utilization. This led to degradation of water resources in both quantity and quality; water pollution, water shortage, water scarcity occurred in many places and tend to increase in recent years.Item INTERACTION BETWEEN GROUNDWATER RESOURCES, AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION AND WATER EXPLOITATION INFRASTRUCTURE IN SREPOK RIVER BASIN (VIETNAM)(Working Paper, 2013) MK17 Project TeamIn the past decades, the exploitation and use of water resources (surface and groundwater) and the prevention and control of water-caused disasters in the Srepok River Basin have gained important achievements, contributing greatly to socio-economic development of the basin.

There are arange of DSTs, distinguished by their function, quality of services (accuracy and precision), ease of use, time of application (project planning, implementation, monitoring, etc.), data requirements, data generated and other factors. The main objective of this analysis is to assess currently available and relevant decision support tools (DSTs), and to highlight the method of selecting most appropriate tool.Item Working Paper on Population Growth and Natural Resources Pressures in Pursat Catchment(Working Paper, 2013-12) MK16 Project TeamThis working paper examines population growth in Pursat and its potential impact on food demand and land and water resources in a systematic and integrated manner. The main purpose of the paper is to kick-start a policy debate on population dynamics and food and water security in Pursat. The paper provides background information, observations and empirical analysis of resource demand (real or perceived) associated with population growth and policy decisions related to food and water security.Item Srepok River Catchment Land Use Map 2010(Poster, 2010) MK17 Project TeamMap shows detail for 50 categories of land use with a summary of main land uses.Item Fisheries and Aquaculture Production in Reservoirs in Lao PDR(Report, 2013-04-01) Saphakdy, Bounthong; Phonekampheng, Oudom; Bouapao, Lilao; Hortle, KentThe project’s overall aim is to provide better information on reservoir fisheries and aquaculture so that reservoirs will be planned and managed to provide a broader range of benefits, particularly to rural people living nearby. Some specific questions which the project is addressing include the following.Item Land/Forest Use and Trends Analysis(Working Paper, 2013-12) MK16 Project TeamThe Land/Forest-use and Trends Analysis report assesses the land cover changes occurring in the TSB and Stung Pursat, describing as well the drivers of these changes. Furthermore, the report provides an overview of how forests are governed in Cambodia, and draws some recommendations and conclusions.Item Report on Conflict Analysis and Power Relations in Pursat Catchment(Report, 2013-12) Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology, Cambodia; Supreme National Economic Council, Cambodia; Tonle Sap Authority; Hatfield Consultants; Culture and Environment Preservation AssociationThe MK16 report analyses stakeholder roles, relationships, and views on water resources management in Cambodia in general, and Pursat specifically, for developing good IWRM structures that incorporates a shared understanding of the reality and complexity of different stakeholder interests and relationships. The analysis is designed to examine the degree of consistency or disparity between different stakeholders, and between formal stakeholder roles and actual practices.The Conflict/Difference and Power Relation Analysis in Pursat Catchment addresses the following research questions: 1. What are the key stakeholder roles, relationships, and perceptions in existing water governance arrangements, and how consistent are these perceptions among different stakeholders at different levels? 2. What are the consistencies and inconsistencies?Item Multi-stakeholder Platform: An innovative mechanism for promoting integrated decision making in the Stung Pursat catchment(Brief, 2013-11) Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology, Cambodia; Supreme National Economic Council, Cambodia; Tonle Sap Authority; Culture and Environment Preservation Association; Hatfield ConsultantsIntroduced as an innovation in the Stung Pursat catchment of Cambodia, a MSP was piloted to promote integrated water resource management (IWRM). The “Fostering-Evidence-based IWRM in Stung Pursat catchment, Cambodia project1 (MK 16)” supported three MSP sessions in Pursat, and brought-together over 40 participants from government (national, provincial, and municipal), civil society organizations (including academic institutions), and community-based natural resource communities.Item Water Demand Analysis within the Pursat River Catchment(Report, 2013-12) Hatfield Consultants; MOWRAM/DHRW ConsultantsIn order to address water resources issues and develop capacities for implementing IWRM, there is a need for better collaboration between sectors and use of scientific data in decision making. Collaborative and informed decision-making rely on better understanding of, and access to quantitative and qualitative research results. Multi-stakeholder Platforms (MSPs) are forums to share and discuss such research outputs with various government sectors and water users. This report contributes to the Stung Pursat MSP process by providing information about changes in water balance in Pursat. The objectives of the Water Demand Analysis within the Pursat River Catchment report are to: Present and compare the water balance in the Pursat catchment under two scenarios; a) natural scenario (absence of Dam No. 1, No. 3, and No. 5) and b) dam scenario (presence of Dam 1, 3, and 5); and Apply and critique theItem Decision Support Tools and Modeling Tools Report(Report, 2013-04) Ministry of Water Resources and Meteorology, Cambodia; Supreme National Economic Council, Cambodia; Tonle Sap Authority; Hatfield Consultants; Culture and Environment Preservation AssociationThis report presents various decision support tools (DSTs) and modeling techniques for facilitating decision-making around water resource management. The objective here is to assess currently available and relevant DSTs, and to highlight the method of selecting most appropriate tool.
