02 JUNE 2016 - SIEM REAP, CAMBODIA: What's left of an irrigation canal and water source west of Siem Reap. Local people said that at this time of year, the canal should be about 1/3 to 1/2 full. Cambodia is in the second year of  a record shattering drought, brought on by climate change and the El Niño weather pattern. Farmers in the area say this is driest they have ever seen their fields. They said they are planting because they have no choice but if they rainy season doesn't come, or if it's like last year's very short rainy season they will lose their crops. Many of the wells in the area have run dry and people are being forced to buy water to meet their domestic needs.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
