TONLE SAP
In June and November the Tonle
Sap River changes direction. In June, with monsoon rains swelling
the Mekong, excess water is pushed into the Tonle Sap that then
drains back upstream into the lake, flooding the surrounding low
plains. By monsoon's end, in November, the pressure is relieved and
the Tonle Sap reverses course and returns to the direction of flow
expected of it.
However, the waters of this, the
largest of Southeast Asian lakes, take several more months before
they begin to recede, and it is not until February that Tonle Sap
Lake begins its return to normal size. The mud banks created by the
flooding are extremely fertile, and local rice farmers have
developed a deepwater rice that is unique to this area.
The months of flooding also
encourages the growth of huge fish stocks and other aquatic life,
that become extremely easy to catch once the waters begin to reside.
Fishing families string nets and bamboo traps across the lake's
mouth and the numerous fish can almost be plucked from the water.
The Tonle Sap Lake's level drops so fast that it catches out many of
its inhabitants, and it is not unlikely to see fisherman picking
their catch from the trees
One particularly interesting
lake dweller is the Elephant Fish, which has developed the ability
to last for several hours out of water, in case the fast receding
waters leave it stranded in the mud. This fish is an Asian delicacy
and can fetch as much as US$60 in a Singapore restaurant.
By the end of May the lake has
returned to its original size - just in time for the June monsoons
to turn the tide of the waters all over again.
