Figure 10: Water discharge and sediment loads balance between
Tonle Sap Lake and Mekong River through Tonle Sap River at Prek Kdam
station for hydrological years 1995 to 2017. (a) Net water discharge,
(b) Net sediment load. Annual water discharge and sediment load obtained
as residuals by subtracting seasonal water discharge and load in reserve
flow from the Mekong from the outflow from Tonle Sap Lake. Negative
values reflect net inflow to the lake from Mekong River, while positive
values correspond to net outflow from the lake to the Mekong River.
