Ancient water system could save Cambodia?s sinking Angkor

Radio Australia has reported that a 1000-year-old water system could be the answer to preventing the nation?s Angkor temples from sinking.

Cambodia welcomed two million tourists last year and with figures expecting to reach three-million this year, authorities are growingly concerned with the area's underground water reservoir. Scientists also believe that if unregulated pumping of water from beneath the temples continue, the ancient ruins could be destroyed forever.
