This guide explores the drivers of water scarcity, and outlines programme principles and programmatic actions to guide WASH programming to help ensure water security for children and their families, with suggested actions at global, regional, national, and local levels.
Cambodia is facing a major environmental threat because of deforestation resulting from forest conversion to agricultural land but also from the use of forest wood as fuel. However using agricultural residues, such as rice husk, can be considered carbon neutral since the CO2 released during the combustion is reabsorbed every year by the crops during the next growing season. International companies are therefore encouraging their garment suppliers in Cambodia to switch from unsustainable firewood to greener fuels such as rice husk briquettes.
