  • Bridging Theory and Practice! 💧🏗️

    Bridging Theory and Practice! 💧🏗️

    On January 08, 2026, a group of 52 students (5th-year of Water and Environmetal Engineering program and 2nd-year Associate degree of engineering in Water Supply and Sanitation) from the Faculty of Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering at the Institute of Technology of Cambodia (ITC) conducted a study visit to the Bakheng Water Treatment Plant and the K&K Pipe Cambodia factory.

    The objective of this educational visit is to provide students with practical insights into water treatment and pipe manufacturing technologies, reinforcing theoretical knowledge acquired during their academic coursework. This visit provided a valuable opportunity for students to observe real-world technical applications and deepen their understanding of the theories learned in the classroom.

    The Faculty and ITC would like to sincerely thank the teams at the Phnom Penh Water Supply Authority (PPWSA) and K&K PIPE Cambodia for their warm welcome and for facilitating this educational experience.

    Seminar “Macroplastic and Microplastic Assessment in Rivers” by Dr. Rachel Hurley & Ms. Vilde Kloster Snekkevik from NIVA

    On October 30, 2025, the Faculty of Hydrology & Water Resources Engineering at the Institute of Technology of Cambodia (ITC) successfully organized a crucial seminar on “Macroplastic and Microplastic Assessment in Rivers.”

    The event drew 42 participants, including students from the Water and Environmental Engineering program and staff from GRU and various ministries. Attendees gained valuable insights into cutting-edge research and frameworks concerning plastic and microplastic pollution in both freshwater ecosystems and the marine environment. The discussion also featured updates on the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP)‘s efforts toward the Global Plastics Treaty and the work of the Scientists’ Coalition Network to combat plastic pollution.

    The seminar was greatly enhanced by the contributions of two distinguished guest lecturers from the Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA), Norway: Dr. Rachel Hurley and Ms. Vilde Kloster Snekkevik . Their presentation was part of the broader ASEAN-Norwegian Cooperation Project (ASEANO project) which ITC is an implementation partner in Cambodia, and this project aims to reduce plastic pollution across the ASEAN Region.
