WellMap – The online well database of the Kingdom of Cambodia

WellMap is an initiative of the Ministry of Rural Development of Cambodia, piloted with financial support from the Water and Sanitation Program of the World Bank. The system contains location, construction and water quality information from rural wells throughout the Kingdom. In March of 2010, the system came online with data contributed by a large number of projects and organizations active in Cambodia’s rural water supply sub-sector. Online entry of new data is possible for those organizations that have been pre-authorized to do so. If you are interested in becoming an authorized user, please see below. Additional methods of data entry (e.g. offline entry and the submission of data by mobile phone) are currently being developed and system expansion will be announced on this page in the 3rd quarter of 2010.
