Dam in East of Pailin District, Battambang Province, Cambodia
The Stung Battambang 1 (or Battambang 1) is a dam planned for construction on the Battambang River in Cambodia. The river is a major tributary of the Tonlé Sap. Of the two dams planned for this river, the larger is the Stung Battambang 1. A letter of commitment has been issued by the Cambodian authorities for a pre-feasibility study of the dam by an unknown Korean company[1]
Surrounding the dam site is the Bannan Irrigation project, covering some 20,000 hectares (49,000 acres), and the dam is understood to play a role in the irrigation of this area, as well as generating hydropower.[2] There is little data available about reservoir size or number of people who will be displaced. The dam is one of three possible dams in the Battambang River basin; the other two would block two tributaries to the Battambang River: the Mongkol Borey River and the Sangker River.
