Impact on agriculture
The 2005 flood destroyed an estimated 6.7 % of the total area planted with rice. Some districts were particularly affected, such as the districts of Srei Santhor and Tboungkhmun in Kompong Cham province. Loss of livestock was very limited. Assuming that the data were correctly recorded, it would mean that the preparedness in the affected areas is effective and that the villagers took appropriate measures for evacuating the livestock to safer places before the water level rose.
