Tram Kak District Authorities Monitor Khpob Trabaek Dam Water Levels Amid Rising Concerns

In Tram Kak district, Takeo province, Cambodia, the district governor has instructed for enhanced monitoring of water levels at a local dam. On the afternoon of September 21, 2026, Governor Huot Mono, accompanied by technical officials, personally inspected the water situation at the Khpob Trabaek dam located in Osarai commune. This action was taken following observations of a continuous rise in water levels over the past three days. During the inspection, the district governor directed relevant authorities and technical officials to continuously monitor water levels and to prepare for timely responses should the situation change. He also emphasized the importance of proper management of water release and storage to mitigate flood risks and ensure sufficient water supply for the community's use and agricultural activities. This direct inspection and monitoring are preventive measures focused on ensuring the safety of residents and maintaining water sources for local agriculture, aiming for timely water management. In Cambodia, water levels in rivers and dams tend to rise towards the end of the rainy season, increasing the risk of floods. Factors such as aging infrastructure and changes in land use can exacerbate the impact of water-related disasters. The governor's directive underscores vigilance against such potential risks.
