Salt field in Kampot, Cambodia

These are the houses were the salt fields workers live in.

                                                                                   

The work is divided into two groups. Once the water has evaporated and only the salt remains at the bottom this group of workers scrape the salt into piles and other workers carry it to the houses where it is weighed and put in bags ready for distribution.

This is how the salt is carried from the fields to the houses. There were about five people scraping the salt and putting in piles and two people transporting it. There were many patches where water was evaporating. They use a rotating system because it takes several days to empty one salt field.
