CHAPTER 4 CASE STUDY SITES 4.1 Rolous Scheme Rolous irrigation scheme is located about 7 km to the west of Stung Sen Town (the provincial capital of Kampong Thom province). It is typical of a shallow bundled reservoir. Water flows into the scheme through five areas: Po Bakrong Bridge, Balang drainage pipe, Tbong Cham Bridge, Prek (stream) Sbove, and Prek O Lok (Figure 2). Stung Sen, Prek Sbove and Chong Mong streams contribute the largest proportion of water to the scheme. The command area of the scheme is about 1,009 ha; it crosses seven villages and four sangkats/communes 4 : O Kunthor, Kampong Rotes, Damrey Cheankla and Sroyov. There are three topographic levels of paddy land in the Rolous scheme. The lowest level rice paddies are in the south-west, the midlevel paddies are around the centre of the scheme and the highest level paddies are in the east. Figure 2: Map of the Rolous Irrigation Scheme and In-depth Study Site A 4 km long dam was built in 1969 to store water for agriculture in the Rolous command area. In 2004, it was rehabilitated by Social Business Khmer (SBK) Research and Development and has seven “gates” or head-structures, two drainage pipes and 13 regulators. Rolous is considered a medium-scale irrigation scheme and it benefits approximately 882 households. Main, secondary and tertiary irrigation canals within the system were built during the Khmer Rouge regime (1975-1979) and have since deteriorated due to lack of regular maintenance and repair. These canals were severely damaged by the Ketsana storm in September 2009. The seven head-structures are used to control the flow of water into the scheme. These gates are closed during the wet-season to store water for use during the dry-season. 4 Data collected from the annual report 2010 of Social Business Khmer (SBK) Research and Development.
