Angkor Archaeological Park is one of the most popular and important archaeological sites in Southeast Asia. Covering over 400 km2 , visitors may explore the remains of several capitals of the Khmer Empire that reigned over large parts of Southeast Asia between the 9th and the 15th century. The park includes a vast array of temples such as the world-famous Angkor Wat, the last capital city of the Khmer Empire Angkor Thom, as well as many palaces and monasteries. Due to its historical importance Angkor Archaeological Park was named UNESCO World Heritage site in 1992. It is also on the List of World Heritage in danger due to a declining water table, unsustainable tourism and looting. Extensive conservation and restoration projects have been set in place by UNESCO and government corporations with other countries to safeguard the remains of a once glorious kingdom.

They were built at a grand scale in and around Angkor and continue to puzzle archaeologists till this day. Despite being used for irrigation, it is also assumed that many of these hydraulic structures had political and religious purposes. The moats around Angkor and the West Baray still contain water. The rest have dried up.
