Summary : Water is an increasingly strategic resource in the Central Asian region for economic and social development. Water cuts across critical issues such as food and fibre production, energy generation, environmental sustainability and human security.

The 4Ps Area has its name from four preks (small rivers) discharging into the Mekong: Prek Preah, Prek Krieng, Prek Kampi and Prek Te.

Since 2007, the potential for water-related development in the 4Ps area has been studied by Cambodia National Mekong Committee (CNMC) in collaboration with Kratie and Mondulkiri
Provinces. The work has been conducted with support from Global Water Partnership (GWP) and ADB (under its RETA 6325, 'Promoting effective water policies and practices', and RETA 6470,
Managing water in Asia's river basins'), as well as the Basin Development Plan produced by Mekong River Commission in collaboration with the National Mekong Committees.
