The Tonle Sap region floods each year during the monsoon when it expands by up to 5 times. Floating villages move up to 10km with the expanding and receding flood waters, while stilted villages remain stationary, with vastly changing water levels. One of the significant environmental management issues is the lack of toilets in the floating and stilted communities. The project is designing latrines suitable for use in both floating and stilted communities.
