West Mebon Temple Restoration | Raw Footages

SIEM REAP - Angkor Archaeological Park, often called a "hydraulic city," mastered the art of water management by engineering an intricate system of reservoirs and canals between Kulen Mountain and Tonle Sap Lake. This network not only sustained agriculture but also fulfilled religious needs for the sprawling ancient city of temples and villages. The reservoirs, or baray in Khmer, were royal commissions, often featuring a temple at their center dedicated to the reigning king. Among them, the West Baray (Baray Khang Lech) stands out. Spanning roughly 8 by 2 kilometres, it is the largest man-made reservoir at Angkor, capable of holding 56 million cubic meters of water—still crucial today for Siem Reap’s agriculture and urban water supply.
