  • For Discussion on Task Force on Land Supply 5 December 2017 Paper No
    For discussion on Task Force on Land Supply 5 December 2017 Paper No. 12/2017 TASK FORCE ON LAND SUPPLY Reclaiming the Reservoirs PURPOSE Some members of the public suggested releasing and reclaiming reservoirs for large-scale housing development. This paper provides Members with the background information about the water supply in Hong Kong, and the potential challenges in taking forward this suggestion (“the suggestion”). BACKGROUND Water Supply in Hong Kong 2. Hong Kong does not have large rivers or lakes. Its annual rainfall averages around 2 400 mm and takes place mainly in the summer months. Coupled with Hong Kong’s hilly terrain, collection of rain water for potable uses has always been a challenge in the water supply history of Hong Kong. Catchwaters and reservoirs are constructed to deal with the uneven distribution of rainfall. With the continuous urbanization and economic development, the Government has been adopting a multi-barrier approach to control the risk of pollution of our valuable water resources. This includes designating about 30% of the territories as water gathering grounds within which developments are under strict control and adopting advanced water treatment technology before distributing the treated water for consumption by the citizen. 3. Since the first reservoir system was built in 1863, Hong Kong now has a total of 17 reservoirs1 (Figure 1) which altogether have a storage capacity of 586 million cubic metres (MCM) collecting on average an annual yield of around 246 MCM. Among these reservoirs, the High Island Reservoir (HIR) and the Plover Cove Reservoir (PCR) with storage capacity of 281 MCM and 230 MCM respectively are the two largest reservoirs, accounting for 87% of the total storage capacity.

  • Hong Kong's Water Resources Management Under “One Country
    FRONT�COVER Liquid Assets IV: Hong Kong’s Water Resources Management under “One Country, Two Systems” July 2013 Su Liu About Civic Exchange Civic Exchange is a Hong Kong-based non-profit public policy think tank that was established in October 2000. It is an independent organisation that has access to policy-makers, officials, businesses, media and NGOs – reaching across sectors and borders. Civic Exchange has solid research experience in areas such as air quality, energy, urban planning, climate change, conservation, water, governance, political development, equal opportunities, poverty and gender. For more information about Civic Exchange, visit www.civic- exchange.org. About the author Su Liu is the Head of Great China & Water Policy Researcher of Civic Exchange. Her work in Civic Exchange covers mainly water related policy research and China related project coordination. Su was a former public opinion researcher (Deputy Managing Director of the Gallup Organisation HK), and a communication strategist (Deputy Managing Director of Wirthlin Worldwide Asia). 2 Foreword Civic Exchange began its policy research work on water resources management in Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta in 2009 and has published five research reports on the topic since then. The last three reports mainly focused on the Dongjiang River and the Pearl River Delta as we believed we needed a better understanding of the region’s current water demand and supply status. Hong Kong relies heavily on Guangdong to meet its internal water demand. These reports informed us about the implications of the region’s economic, social and political development on Hong Kong’s water supply.

    Topic 2 - Milestones of Hong Kong Water Supply (Key Stage 2) English voice over script and super: Super: Topic 2 Milestones of Hong Kong Water Supply Key Stage 2 FVO: Topic 2 Milestones of Hong Kong Water Supply Key Stage 2 Boy: Grandma, you always save the water after washing vegetables for watering plants. Why do you have to be so thrifty? We are not in any water crisis right now. We’ve got more than enough water to use. Grandma: I have got used to this practice for more than 10 years. Every drop of fresh water is very precious, sweetheart. We have to make good use of it and conserve it. Thinking back to the water rationing implemented in the 60s, I was much more sparing than I am now! Super: Water rationing? Boy: Water rationing? Super: Early 1980s Geographical constraints Water Save Dave: Yes. It’s not a breezy task to maintain a stable water supply in Hong Kong. In the early 1980s, the problem of water shortage was serious because of geographical constraints, unreliable precipitation and the rising demands of water associated with rapid population growth. Therefore, implementation of water rationing to control and restrict water supply was quite common in the history of Hong Kong. There were always different challenges to be faced along the way. Boy: What kinds of challenges? And are there any ways to overcome them? Water Save Dave: To answer that, we’d have to trace back to the first time that the Government allocated funds for digging wells. Before there were any public water supplying services in Hong Kong, a lot of citizens used water from wells or streams.

  • The 1950S Were a Period of Huge Change for Hong Kong. the End of Japanese Occupation, the Establishment of the People’S Republic of China, the U.S
    1950s The 1950s were a period of huge change for Hong Kong. The end of Japanese occupation, the establishment of the People’s Republic of China, the U.S. and U.N. trade embargoes on China and a mass influx of Mainland immigrants bringing low-cost labour to the city, shaped much of Hong Kong’s social and economic landscape during this decade. Coupled with ambitious infrastructure plans and investment-friendly policies, Hong Kong laid the foundations that, over the coming decades, were to create one of the world’s greatest trading hubs. It was during this time that Dragages was awarded the contract to construct what was to become an internationally recognised Hong Kong icon: the runway jutting out into Victoria Harbour for Kai Tak Airport. Other major projects soon followed, including the Shek Pik and Plover Cove Reservoirs, which became essential lifelines providing fresh water to Hong Kong’s rapidly growing population. For Dragages, it was a decade which was to establish its credentials as a leading partner in Hong Kong’s modernisation for the next 50 years. = = 1955 – 1958 Kai Tak Airport Runway Demand for marine expertise brings Dragages to Hong Kong Increasing demand for air travel combined with the growth in airplane size led the Hong Kong Government to plan the reconstruction and extension of the existing Kai Tak runway. By extending the runway two kilometres into Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong was the first city in the world to attempt such an ambitious project. The challenges of the project, requiring extensive dredging and more than 120 hectares of reclamation, called for a construction company with strong marine and dredging experience.

Look at this marvelous Water Resource Museum in the middle of the sea! Dave, any special here? Super: Water Resource Museum 160 years of water supply history Water supply challenge Water Save Dave: This Water Resource Museum showcases one hundred and sixty years of Hong Kong’s history in the evolution of water supply, displaying technical difficulties, natural challenges and ways to overcome them. It is really informative! Boy: It sounds interesting. Let’s start our visit before it gets late. Water Save Dave: Wait a minute, let me ask you something first. How did people in Hong Kong collect drinking water one hundred and sixty years ago? Boy: Ah... I guess people collected drinking water from water wells, just like I have seen from the ancient films. Water Save Dave: Correct! Once upon a time, people lived with underground water collected from water wells, alternatively they used water from water streams. However, as population increased, the limited number of wells and streams was not sufficient to meet the needs. As a result, Hong Kong Government financed the digging of five wells to provide water to the public for free and hence, Hong Kong’s history of water supply began… Boy: But only five wells! Were they enough to satisfy needs? Water Save Dave: You are quite insightful.
