The Tonle Sap Lake, known also as the Great Lake, lies in the central plains of Cambodia. It is known for many things, its exceptional water regime with huge changes in the lake’s water level and water volume between different seasons; its unique reverse flow acting as a store for the Mekong during the flood season and then providing it water as the flood recedes; for its productivity, reported to be one of the most productive fisheries resources in the world, and for its social characteristics and diversity with floating and stilted villages. |
