Tonle Sap Lake / 洞里萨湖

Tonle Sap Lake / 洞里萨湖 is the hydrological hinge in EP267 踏访湄公河:雨季、婚飞蚁与水利帝国’s account of [[Cambodia|柬埔寨]] and [[Angkor|吴哥]]. The episode explains that rainy-season [[MekongRiver|Mekong]] flow pushes water into the lake, expanding it several times over, before water flows back out after the rainy season.

The source uses this flood pulse to connect Wetland Adaptation, Fisheries Resource Management, and Angkor Hydraulic Empire / 吴哥水利帝国. Seasonal expansion brings nutrients and fish resources, while Angkor’s water system stored and redirected rainy-season water for dry-season rice agriculture.
