Three newly-built dams – O’ Te Thipadei, Sen Sokhadom and Sen Monorom – in the northeastern province of Mondulkiri were put into official use this morning under the presidency of Prime Minister Samdech Moha Borvor Thipadei Hun Manet.
Speaking on the occasion, Samdech Thipadei Hun Manet laid stress on the importance of O’ Te Thipadei dam located in O’ Reang district, and Sen Sokhadom and Sen Monorom dams in Sen Monorom city, Mondulkiri province in supplying water resources to the province, attracting more tourists, and reducing risks of natural disasters such as flood and drought.
The Premier said road connectivity and water sources are a priority of the Royal Government of Cambodia (RGC) and reaffirmed the RGC’s commitment to ensure enough water supply for the people for use and irrigation.
According to H.E. Thor Chetha, Minister of Water Resources and Meteorology, the three dams are part of the multi-sectoral water resource development project in Mondulkiri province. The dams were built from October 2021
to January 2024 at a total cost of some US$62 million under the Royal Government’s support fund framework.
