  • Palaeozoic Rocks of the San Tin Group Classification and Distribution
    PalaeozoicRocks of the San Tin Group Classification and Distribution The sedimenmryrocks of this Palaeozoicbasin (the San Tin Group) occupy a northeasterly,curving, faulted, irregular belt at least 25 km long and up to a maximum of 4 km in width. This fault-bounded basinextends northwards into Shenzhenand Guangdong,and south throughTuen Mun. Bennett (1984c) outlined the basic structureof the areaas a narrow grabenbetween the CastlePeak and the Sung Kong granites,and noted the presenceof metasedimenmryrocks of the Repulse Bay Formation and the Lok Ma ChauFormation. The San Tin Group is divided into two formations; a lower, largely calcareousYuen Long Formation, and an upper, mostly arenaceous/argillaceousLok Ma ChauFormation (Langford et ai, 1989)(Figure5). Yuen Long Formation The Yuen Long Fonnation was named by Lee (1985) to distinguish the concealed marbles and limestonesof the Yuen Long area from the better known clastic rocks belonging to the establishedand exposed Lok Ma Chau Fonnation (Bennett, 1984b). The distinctive carbonate lithologies were originally recognised by Ha et al (1981), who suggested that they probably belonged to the CarboniferousPeriod. General supportfor a Carboniferousage was provided by the strike of the rocks which could be traced northeastwardsinto Shenzhen,where unpublished1:50 000 geologicalmapping of the Shenzhen,Special Economic Zone apparently showed similar lithologies classified as Lower Carboniferous(Visean) (Lai & Mui, 1985). The Yuen Long Fonnation is overlain by the Lok Ma Chau Fonnation. The boundary betweenthe two fonnations is in places gradationalbut in others sharp and probably unconfonnable.The presenceof beds of marble intercalatedwith the lowest metasiltstonesin someboreholes is interpretedby Langford et al (1989) to be a gradual passagefrom a dominantly calcareoussequence to one of largely clastic material.

  • Operating Experience of Inflatable Dam for Pollution Control in Deep Bay, Hong Kong
    Proceedings of 2013 IAHR Congress © 2013 Tsinghua University Press, Beijing Operating Experience of Inflatable Dam for Pollution Control in Deep Bay, Hong Kong S.K. SHE1, S.H. WONG2, Gigi W.C. POON3 Drainage Services Department, The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Email: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT: Inflatable dams have been adopted for pollution control in urban streams in Hong Kong. The dams have served the purpose satisfactorily by preventing organic suspended particles from the polluted tidal backflow entering the streams in which odor is generated when these organic pollutants are decomposed under anaerobic condition at the bottom of the stream. With an automatic deflation response to an increase in flow rates under a heavy rainfall, the dams do not pose higher flooding risk to the community. In recent years, there is a paradigm shift in stormwater management in which more focus is placed on eco-hydraulics and low carbon footprint (Wenger et al., 2009; Brown and Farrelly, 2008). Therefore, it is time to review the need and the operation mode of these inflatable dams so that the operation not only meets the objective of pollution control, but also enhances the ecological value of the stream and reduces energy consumption. As measures for achieving these multiple targets are sometimes contradictory, it is not easy to reach the right balance which is dynamic in nature and also site specific, with limited information on flow, ecology, and pollution loading. This paper presents a review of the operating experience of three inflatable dams in urban streams, namely the Yuen Long Bypass Floodway (YLBF), Ngau Tam Mei Nullah (NTMN) and Yuen Long Nullah (YTN).
