Flooded Fields of the Tônlé Sap

Flooded Fields of the Tônlé Sap
During the rainy season, the waters of Cambodia’s largest lake, the Tônlé Sap, rise and flood the surrounding area, depositing rich silt. As a result, this area is the most fertile region of Cambodia. Here, workers transplant rice into the flooded fields.
