flag Archaeologists in Cambodia uncover ancient moat and drainage systems near Angkor Thom, revealing advanced water management from the 10th century.

flag An archaeological team in Siem Reap, Cambodia, is studying ancient moat and drainage systems outside the 10th-century Royal Palace of Angkor Thom. flag Preliminary findings from four sites reveal up to three meters of soil deposits, a moat with nine to 11 laterite steps, and three drainage systems with six water outlets, indicating advanced hydraulic engineering. flag These features, buried over time by sediment and vegetation, are being examined to improve understanding of Angkorian water management and support future restoration efforts to combat seasonal flooding.
