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.
