Sangker River

The Sangker River, also known as the Sangkae River, is a vital waterway in western Cambodia, flowing through Battambang Province and eventually emptying into the Tonle Sap Lake. It plays an essential role in local transportation, agriculture, and fishing, supporting communities along its banks. The river’s fertile banks enable rice cultivation and other farming activities, while its waters facilitate trade and movement. As a significant natural resource, the Sangker River contributes to the region’s economy and cultural life, making it a crucial component of western Cambodia’s environment and livelihoods.
