Hi there cambodia group, I am crashing your page because you have not answered the following questions properly yet - when you answer please cite your sources, using the methods that you always do.

1. Size of an average family in your allocated country. (Laura) According to [] women in average gives birth to 3 kids in their life. Asuming that they life with their husband an average family is of 5 people. On [] it confirms that its normal to live a whole family with grandparents as well. A cambodian family often consists of 3 or 4 generations in the same household so about 9 people is average for the amount of people in one household. According to [] it was in the 1960s normal for a women to give birth to 6 children. 2. Food and water needs for an average family in your country. (Yong Joo) []
 * ~ Application ||~ Index number ||
 * Westernised family || 100 litres per person per day. This is including water for bathroom, shower, dishes, cloth washing and so. ||
 * Non-westernised orphanage || With 20 litres per person per day you are probably rather high ||
 * Non-westernised village || Index number of WHO: 40 litre per person per day. The real need is probably lower. ||
 * Irrigation || Not answerable with an index number. What is the crop, How much sunshine you have to compensate (evaporation) and what is the rain supply on site? These questions should be answered with local knowledge. It’s also not bad to ask a specialist or to look in an irrigation manual. Also internet provides quite some information. ||

workers in Kampong Chhnang said they get 15 kg of rice per month from home, consuming ½ kg of rice per day, worth about $8.

In the Cambodia, most of the families are farming for their own eating stuffs.

(Jung Min) __**Military**__ The Cambodia Military consist of Royal Cambodian Armed Foces for example Royal Cambonian Army, Royal khmer Navy, Royal Camboian Air Force.

In Cambodia, the land use 3parts for example arable land use the 20.44%, permanent crops use the 0.59% and other thing is 78.97% in 2005. []

RDI developed this innovative structure and is inviting visiting teams to come out and build these tanks for needy families. **
 * __Water Storage Facilities__**


 * 1) Gutters are added to existing roofs of houses. (Where needed, a metal roof is offered.)
 * 2) A pipe is run from the gutter to the sphere tank.
 * 3) During the rainy season, the tank fills up, giving a typical family of 6 enough water for an entire dry season.
 * 4) Water is collected out of the spigot.
 * 5) (The water can also be sent through the clay filter system at this step.)
 * 6) Drink up

A 30,000 liter rainwater tank can harvest enough water to get a typical large Cambodian school through the dry season. Costs vary, but a 30,000 tank requires roughly $1000 in materials and labor.


 * 1) Gutters are added to the roofs of nearby buildings. (Where needed, a metal roof is offered.)
 * 2) Pipe is run from the gutter to the cylinder tank.
 * 3) During the rainy season, the tank fills up.
 * 4) Water is diverted to hand washing stations, into various outdoor filters for drinking water, toilets, or misc. water spigots.
 * 5) (Depending on the location, a series of clay filters or the ultra-violet light filtration system may be employed to further purify the drinking water.)
 * 6) Clean water is used!
