Wells, rivers and pagodas

May 21, 2009

We arrived in Kampong Speu and met with the local hospital director and government businessmen in order to set up lab and discuss our intentions for the project. This indoor/outdoor hospital understands the filthiness of their water and of the surrounding sources. This day, together, we ended up collecting about 20 samples from surrounding wells, rivers, and pagodas.
