After the actual construction of these dams goes well, more, impact assessments, compensation, and (for example, the National Assembly and the Senate, etc.) project, formally approved by the relevant government agencies, it always has.

In addition to the dam, over 20 km long underground tunnel of enormous size, it is necessary to further develop, with pressurized water from the reservoir to the turbine. Needless to say, roads and power lines must be straight cut, built in the jungle in the house, one of the last healthy forest in the country.

Busra Waterfall , Mondulkiri- Cambodia

♠ Posted by Music Box855

Welcome to Busra Waterfal, Mondulkiri- Cambodia

        

         Busra waterfall is located about 43 km to the northeast Mondulkiri cities, PICH Kendari district of Sen Monorom. Busra is considered by many the most beautiful waterfall in Mondulkiri. Falls is divided into three stages.

        The first stage: Autumn waterfall, 8-12 meters high, in the dry season, the rainy season in the 15-meter-wide 10-15 meters.
The second stage: 15-20 meters high waterfall autumn, during the rainy season 20 meters, 18-25 meters in width and dry season high 13 meters wide. The second stage is 150 meters from the first stage.
Phase III: Falls faster than the second stage. Because it is in dense forest, not able to reach this stage. There are in the region of significant habitat paths and dangerous wildlife.

               Double down waterfalls, is popular with the local people use it for swimming and picnic spot. It is the topmost height of about 10 meters, the drop-down 25μm valley is at a low level. It is the remains of a group of picturesque natural scenery, and offers a great photo ops. This is ethnic Phnong nearby village called Pichinda and a small hotel. Waterfall some light snacks, but you, you put the food, if you want to be more substantial. Then it will go to the Northeast Bousura. Behind us, I never had this right first mountain road to the north, it has been surprising that we have made over yesterday to see who is the most rough. We crossed a small river on improvised bridge, 500 riel per group of children will be charged.

          The next successful acquisition of the road a little, but still has needed a lot of attention. Deep groove roads, but I left the most likely burden of my car. If you are, anyone you get, this is only hope, because it is not caught, they will leave behind much more than other options. Still the ground is solid, it will provide an excellent grip tire grip. Later we continue for some time, we do not show the village. Mysterious forest is several places in relatively dense. The two of us, we must repeatedly restarted motorcycle, when we travel in speed, in many places is a challenge, to lead these relatively heavy motorcycle.

            How do I start this bike many times, I climbed to the group placed on the stand, I went to the station and the upper front flap, from the beginning of this relatively comfortable position. But I think that when breaking position will realize that it is impossible to support most other bikes. The road has become serious. Forcing us to many rocks and numerous failures sometimes ride to the next road, there. Hill, in some cases, quite steep. Overall, it will move very slowly. About 40 minutes later, we have a breakthrough. I Pongro understand whether their mountain ride, try to listen to him. I know he has the ability to control the full speed of the clutch.

          I would recommend you use bottom gears. He is not to show how he needs a clever clutch, it makes nervous. The strange thing is, at this moment damaged clutch cable. I have to realize, it is impossible to ride a bike without a clutch, we do not take the time. Ironically, today, we usually, the first day went without a heavy set of tools and spare parts, including carrying and clutch cable. Pongro still believe that we can try to protect this bike. Once people crossed the small, old Honda is given, sometimes seriously overloaded road always found among all these rocks very cleverly.

         We learned that the road is still longer than the road back to Sen Monorom Bousura. In addition to road becomes serious from here. And it is because we have a man in there, you will be able to modify those who bike.One stopped for some time, Pongro trying to repair MOTO, borrow some tools and wires found that it is very low. Phnong people involved for some time, ask for their efforts. However, this also is t? The winning thing is becoming increasingly clear.
