Future Solutions Now - The Tonle Sap Initiative May 2006
Serrat, Olivier | May 2006
Abstract
Cambodia is looking at basin-wide management of the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia.
By means of extensive investigations, it has nurtured an agreement in principle on organizational form and function in the Tonle Sap basin.
The intention is to better drive, coordinate, and streamline infrastructure development and natural resource management to benefit all.
Since the structure being formulated also preserves connection to Cambodia’s involvement in efforts to manage the Mekong River Basin, the steps now being taken can inform other basin-wide approaches.
