Kuong Khov, Sok Daream and Chouk BorinIn: UA Magazine No. 14 - Urban Aquatic Production The numerous plots located around wetlands in peri-urban Phnom Penh, are important sources of edible aquatic vegetables and fish for the city and other areas of Cambodia. These areas are fertilised by domestic sewage/wastewater discharged from the city. The activities relating to these production systems are intrinsically linked with the livelihoods of many poor people living in and around the city.
