The project seeks to improve the irrigation system that was restored between Koh Sotin district in Kampong Cham and Sithor Kandal district in Prey Veng (13 kilometers), and between Sithor Kandal and Kamchay Mea district, also in Prey Veng (27 kilometers). The canals were between 44 and 55 meters wide and between 18 and 25 meters deep. Another two canals of 78 kilometers have been planned from Svay Chikray commune to Sithor Kandal district and from Ta Douk commune to Mesang district in Prey Veng. The first phase of the project intends to irrigate an estimated 108,300 hectares of wet-season rice and 27,100 hectares of dry-season rice in Kampong Cham and Prey Veng provinces.
