Title of the Project

The Project for Flood Protection and Drainage Improvement in the Municipality of Phnom Penh
(Phase III)

2. Categorization and its Reason

Categorization: Category B

Reason: The project requires the construction of drainage pipe networks in dense urban areas.
The construction works in the urban areas will cause temporary negative impacts
including noise, vibration and traffic congestions.

3. Outline of the Location

3.1 Topography

MPP is located on alluvial lowland formed by Mekong and Tonle Sap Rivers. The old city is on the
natural levee and new residential areas are located in a lot of swampy lowlands. Especially some lakes
are located in the fringe of the municipality, i.e. Boeng Kak Lake in North side, Tompun and Trabek
Lakes in South side. Damrei mountain range, so called Elephant mountains, is located in westward of
MPP which distance from MPP is approximately 60 km. Kampong Tram River product sand and gravel
from the mountains which is supplied for construction material in MPP.

3.2 Meteorology

3.2.1 Rainfall

Annual mean rainfall in MPP is approximately 1,400 mm and 90 percent of it concentrates in rainy
season; from May to November. During the dry season, from December to April, monthly mean rainfall
is approximately 50 mm and the number of rainy day is less than 5 day/month. During the rainy season,
monthly mean rainfall is approximately 100 mm and the number of rainy day is more than 10
day/month. Rainfall tends to concentrate in September and October.

3.2.2 Temperature and Humidity

Maximum and minimum temperatures in MPP are approximattely 33 degree Celcius and 23 degree
Celcius, respectively. Maximum temerature in a day exceeds 30 degree Celcius in every day. From
March to May have high temperature. Monthly mean humidity is ranging from 65 percent to 86 percent.

-1-
 3.2.3 Wind Speed and Wind Direction

Maximum wind speed is recorded as 20 m/s in 2001. Generally, wind speed in dry season is high.
Wind direction from October to January is northword, from February to April is southeast and from
May to September is southwest.

3.2.4 Water Level in Tonle Sap River

Water level in Tonle Sap River highly affects the drainage condition of MPP. The high water level of
the river keeps from August to November and low water level of the river can be observed from March
to June. The river water level is ranging from El. 10.2 m to El. 0.3 m in Chakto Mukh Water Level
Station.

3.3 Ecology

3.3.1 Aquatic Biodiversity

There are a couple of main drainage channels and Boeng Trabek pond which were used as detention
pond. There is no important fauna in the project area, like migratory birds or important fish species nor
important flora in the ponds which is partly covered by water hyacinth.

3.3.2 Terrestrial Biodiversity

Terrestrial biodiversity in the project area is limited to scattered trees, both exotic and endemic,
alongside of the roads and pet fed by city dwellers.

3.3.3 Protected Areas

There are no protected areas like national park in the Study Area.

3.4 Land Use

Land use in the Study Area is a mixture of residential, small to medium scale commercial
development areas in the north and less in the south. Northern part of the project area is more populated
than south one. According to the interview survey, several home steads in south part were lowland that
being reclaimed within 10 to 20 years.

3.5 Population

The population of Cambodia has been increasing as shown in Figure 1. According to the Census 2008,
recent population of the country is approximately 13 million and recent decadal growth rate works out
to 16.66 percent or an annual exponential growth rate of 1.54 percent.

However, the population of MPP tends to decrease. Table 1 shows the population in the Study Area
Sangkat basis. The decrease in population appears in the data from 2004 to 2008 which imply the Study
Area is fully used and causes urban sprawl. The population growth rate from 2004 to 2008 in the Study
Area is minus 3.24 percent.

The population in the Study Area is a predominantly urban population with various occupations such
as government officers, private company staffs, shopkeeper, hoteliers, traders and private workers etc.

3.6 Water Quality

3.6.1 Water Quality Monitoring

Office of Air Quality Noise & Vibration in Ministrt of Environment (MOE) is carrying out water
quality monitoring once a month in public water areas around MPP. The locations and monitoring
periods are shown in Table 2. The monitoring had been carried out on 10 locations from 1999 to 2008.
Recently the number of monitoring location is only five since 2008.

3.6.2 Water Quality in the Rivers around MPP

The water quality in and around MPP monitored by MOE in 2009 is shown in Table 3. As shown in
the table, SS in dry season tends to exceed the national standard. In Stoeung Chrov located at outlet of
the wetland to the Preak Thnot River, BOD exceeded the standard in post-rainy season. It may be the
main reason that stored water in the wetland which located in south of MPP spilled out due to the
reduction of river water level.

 3.7 Environmental Concerns on Living

3.7.1 Deterioration of Drainage System

The drainage facilities in the Study Area constructed from the beginning of the 1900’s are not
functioning well due to old age, as well as poor maintenance after the 1970’s. As a result, the city
suffers from habitual inundation and poor environmental conditions caused by stagnant wastewater in
lowland areas, which are serious constraints to the residents’ living environment, as well as social and
economic development, in not only of MPP but the whole country in general. Such deteriorated
drainage condition is alerted in a tourist guide book as dangers information.

Inundation damage in the Study Area was surveyed by use of questionnaires in March and April 2010.
According to the survey result, most of the people experienced the flooding around their home stead.

3.7.2 Traffic Congestion

Under economic significant growth and population growth, the number of traffic has been rapidly
increased in Cambodia. It frequently causes the traffic congestion in the Study Area.

8. Consultation

The interview survey for household which located in the Study Area was carried out in March and
April 2010. The purpose of the survey is not only to grasp inundation damage under present condition
but awareness of the Project. The interviewer explained the Project purpose, contents and possible
inconvenients during the construction period and ask their willness on the Project. According to the
survey results, most interviewees (391 in 429 samples) agreed on the improvement of drainage in front
of their houses and almost all of these interviewees agreed on the improvement even if it requires
construction work in front of their houses.

On the other hand, the Kick-off meeting was carried out on 9th March 2010. Related person for the
Project such as staffs of MPP and DPWT and Khans (Districts) participated the meeting and the
implementation of the Preparatory Survey for the Project was announced. After completion of the Draft
Final Report, the Project contents shall be explained to people affected by the Project.

Before the construction works, the contents and detail schedule will be explained in related residences
in public meetings held by each Khan under coordination with DPWT.

10. Consultation with Recipient Governments

10.1 Explanation Meeting with Local Residents

In the construction stage of the Project phase II, explanation meetings with local residents were
carried out before the constuction works. Thanks to this activity, the Project recieved no claims from the
local residents. Most construction works of the Project phase III will also be executed in the urban area
of MPP. Since some portions of the drainage pipe are adjacent to houses, shops and restaurants, the
Cambodian side is required to hold meetings with the local residents to explain the Project before the
commencement of construction work. These explanation meetings shall be held for each “Khan” or
“Sangkat” concerned. The resident’s opinion shall be taken into consideration, and it is necessary to
facilitate the understanding and cooperation of the inhabitants on project implementation.

10.2 Securing the Environmental Monitoring

DPWT, responsible and implementing agencies of the Project, have to carry out the environmental
monitoring during construction and operation stages. However, they have no equipments and skills to
measure the adverse impacts quantitively such as noise level. Therefore, they have to contract
monitoring works to any appropriate institutes or firms. DOE is an alternative for the works because
they have the equipments for noise and dust measurements and had monitored the construction works of
the Project phase II. DPWT is required securing enough budget to contract the environmental
monitoring.
