The first photo shows the steel door that will control the water flow from the Day Loh River. The second photo shows the spillway control section, designed to regulate the amount of water flow; when the water reaches a certain elevation, the spillway control section will reduce the amount of water flow from the upper dam. According to the community member who took these photos, the surrounding agricultural land belongs to villagers from 10 villages, which includes durian, mangosteen, cardamom and betelnut [5] plantations, all of which would be flooded if the dam becomes operational.[6] [Photos: KHRG]
