Social hydrological analysis for poverty reduction in community-managed water resources systems in Cambodia. Water. 13(13):1848. http://doi.org/10.3390/w13131848
Existing water supply modelling in Cambodia does not account for social factors at the household or community level, leading to imprecise water distribution that reinforces economic inequalities among residents, farmers and fishers.
This study employs SEI’s Water Evaluation and Planning (WEAP) software to identify shortages in the water supply and incorporate more detailed social information to model more equitable water infrastructure.
