Tonle Sap Lake is circled by five provinces. And about
three million of population inhabited around the bank of the lake and 90% of
them earn a living by catching fish and making agriculture.
Tonle Sap Lake is the largest fresh water in South East
Asia. Its dimension changes depending on the monsoon and dry season. During the
rains, the lake is filled by water flowing from the Mekong with 14 meters in
depth and expands the surface of 10,000 square kilometers. Whereas in dry season,
its size i.e. 3,000 square kilometers with two meters in depth and water flows out
from the Lake to the Mekong, in and out flowing is the natural phenomenon occurrences.
This lake is also an important commercial resource , providing more than half of the fish consumed
in Cambodia. In harmony with the specialized ecosystems, the human occupations at
the edge of the lake is similarly distinctive – floating villages, towering
stilted houses, huge fish traps, and an economy and way of life deeply
intertwined with the lake, the fish, the wildlife and the cycles of rising and
falling waters.
