In Cambodia’s rice-growing regions, small ponds dug beside rice fields can change everything. By capturing and storing water, providing refuge for fish and supplying irrigation for vegetables, they can turn a single harvest into a year-round source of food and income. For farming families, this can mean more meals on the table, less risk from droughts, and a stronger defense against the impacts of climate change.
