Stretch 15: Kompong Chhnang to Chong Kneas about 122 km<\/p>\n
The Great Lake is a particularity waterway in the Mekong River System.<\/p>\n
The Great Lake is the largest freshwater body in Southeast Asia and a vital part of the Mekong hydrological system. It is furthermore called \u201cthe nursery of all migrating fish species in the Mekong\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Great Lake (Tonle Sap)\u2019s mean water-surface area changes from 2,500 Km\u00b2 to 3,500 Km2 during the dry season (January to April-May) to a maximum of up to 14,500 Km2 during the wet season (4-5 times bigger). Water depths up to 9.0 m can be reached (in the dry season not more than 0.7 to 1.0 m) from late September to early October. However, the seasonal storage of water stored in the Great Lake goes from as low as 1 to 2 km\u00b3 (= 1 to 2 million m\u00b3) to 50 or 80 km\u00b3 (= 50 to 80 million m\u00b3), or in average 50 times more in the flood season.<\/p>\n
The differences between the water level in the Great Lake and the water level at Chaktomuk cause the unique flow reversal in the Tonl\u00e9 Sap River.<\/p>\n
