Tonlé Sap Lake
Tonle Sap lit, 'Fresh River' or commonly translated as Great Lake' is a lake in the northwest of Cambodia. Belonging to the Mekong River system, Tonlé Sap is the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia and one of the most diverse and productive ecosystems in the world. It has been designated as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1997 due to its high biodiversity. In the 21st century, the lake and its surrounding ecosystems are under increasing pressure from deforestation, infrastructure development and climate change.
The floating settlements also contain a church, a school, shops...
Residents change their address 4 times a year. Depending on the season, the lake changes the water level by up to 8 meters, so the floating houses are constantly moving.
Jezero Tonle Sap
Tonie Sap, bukvalno ‘Sveza Reka’ ili obično prevedeno kao Veliko jezero 'je jezero na severozapadu Kambodže. Pripada sistemu reke Mekong, Tonle Sap je najveće slatkovodno jezero u jugoistočnoj Aziji i jedan od najraznovrsnijih i najproduktivnijih ekosistema na svetu. UNESCO ga je 1997. godine odredio kao rezervat biosfere zbog velikog biodiverziteta. U 21. veku, jezero i okolni ekosistemi su pod sve većim pritiskom od krčenja šuma, razvoja infrastrukture i klimatskih promena.

Stanovnici menjaju adresu 4 puta godisnje. Zavisno od sezone, jezero menja nivo vode i do 8 metara tako da se plutajuce kuce stalno sele.
