The Cambodia 2000 project – Stage II

This project is co-financed by the European Commission; the Provincial governments of Alessandria (Italy), Limburg (Belgium), and Kampong Thon (Cambodia); ICS, AMAG, ATO5, ATO6. Hydroaid is a scientific partner of the project.
The Cambodia 2000 project waterworks will bring fresh drinking water to the nearly 9,000 inhabitants of the city of Taing Krasaing currently facing serious health risks from the river water they use for their everyday needs.
Stage II of the Cambodia 2000 project, which includes training in the management of drinking water resources and building of the Taing Krasaing waterworks, is part of the European Asia Urbs project that fosters relationships between local Asian and European administrations through decentralized cooperation.
Hydroaid’s part in the project is to organize training seminars for 30--40 administrative engineers as local water district managers. The courses are scheduled for late 2006 in Phnom Penh.
