Access to clean drinking water in rural areas is one of Cambodia's main environmental problems; only 42% of rural Cambodians can access water that is considered likely to be safe to drink. Dodgy water can bring on cholera,and acute watery diarrhoea which is the second most common cause of deaths for kids under 5.
That's a disgrace; billions of dollars of overseas aid- both private and government-to-government- have flowed into Cambodia over the last decade. What did they do with it all? It sure hasn't gone into making sure that those in the countryside can have a decent drink.
