On August 20th, 2010, BORDA- Cambodia (Bremen Overseas Research and Development Association) cooperated with the Kampot Department of Environment and held a half day seminar on DEWATS (Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Systems) in Kampot City, which is about 148km from the capital Phnom Penh.
The seminar was arranged by BORDA-Cambodia after a request from the Kampot Department of Environment to share information about wastewater and wastewater treatment solutions to stakeholders with an interest in wastewater management.

Over the past two years, BORDA-Cambodia (Bremen Overseas Research and Development Association) has been busy developing a DEWATS (Decentralized Wastewater Treatment System) program in Cambodia. So far, just three DEWATS have been completed, but these initial projects have been very important in building the capacity of local staff to design and build DEWATS locally. So how do we know if the DEWATS constructed in Cambodia are of a high quality standard?
To help to answer this question BORDA-SEA has introduced a regional DEWATS certification system, whereby DEWATS can be audited and assessed according to standardized guidelines, by experienced personnel.
Kampong Trabek district referral hospital is located on National Road Number 6 in Kampong Trabek district, Prey Veng province, about 100km from Phnom Penh. This 80 beds hospital is managed by the Ministry of Health with assistance from the Khmer Buddhist foundation, Dhammaduta.
Since June 2009, BORDA-Cambodia (Bremen Overseas Research & Development Association) and CfD (Center for Development) have been implementing a pilot School Based Sanitation (SBS) project with the Chroy Chang Va primary school, in Phnom Penh. The project was completed at the end of June, 2010 and in the grant agreement with Unicef & the Ministry of Rural Development a key activity was to disseminate project findings and experiences with relevant sector stakeholders in a special SBS seminar.

Effective WASH (Water, Sanitation & Hygiene) facilities and systems are a crucial part of any healthcare setting. In Cambodia, most provincial hospitals have inadequate WASH infrastructure that is generally poorly managed. This puts the health of staff, patients and surrounding communities at risk.
