Tonle Sap

When the Mekong swells in summer, it backs up into Tonle Sap, filling a 60 mile channel and lake near Angkor that feeds a nation. It almost triples in size to 3 thousand square miles. Tonle Sap is a wonder of hydrology that prevents flooding on the Mekong delta, provides irrigation for crops and enriches a lake with an abundant supply of freshwater fish.
