Environmental Monitoring in Cambodia, November 2023

A return visit to two projects on-going in Cambodia to monitor the environmental management on active construction sites, and check the closure of finished sites. 

It was great to see the improvements in Pursat market because of the drainage installed. I have never seen it so dry and clean. 

Also we got the opportunity to work with the construction firm which will be constructing a new wastewater treatment plant in Kampong Chhnang, and explain the environmental expectations for the project. It will be good to go back and check on progress later this year. 

We also went to see the latest extent of the dumpsite the project will hopefully close safely later this year.
