  • A Three-Dimensional Numerical Model in Orthogonal Curvilinear –Sigma Coordinate System for Pearl River Estuary
    This is the Pre-Published Version. Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, ASCE, Vol. 127, No. 1, 2001, pp. 72-82 3D NUMERICAL MODEL FOR PEARL RIVER ESTUARY K. W. Chau Associate Professor, Department of Civil & Structural Engineering, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong Y. W. Jiang Research Assistant, Department of Civil & Structural Engineering, Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hung Hom, Kowloon, Hong Kong ABSTRACT: A 3D numerical model with orthogonal curvilinear coordinate in the horizontal direction and sigma coordinate in the vertical direction has been developed. This model is based on POM (the Princeton Ocean Model). In this model a second moment turbulence closure sub-model is embedded, and the stratification caused by salinity and temperature is considered. Furthermore, in order to adapt to estuary locations where flow pattern is complex, the horizontal time differencing is implicit with the use of a time splitting method instead of the explicit method in POM. This model is applied to the Pearl River estuary, which is the largest river system in South China with Hong Kong at eastern side of its entrance. The computation is verified and calibrated with field measurement data. The computed results mimic the field data well. KEY WORDS Three-dimensional, orthogonal curvilinear coordinate, time-splitting, Pearl River estuary INTRODUCTION The Pearl River (Zhujiang) is the largest river system in South China. The Pearl River Delta Region (PRDR), which includes eight cities (Guangzho, Shenzhen, Dongguan, Huizhou, Foshan, Zhongshan, Jiangmen), is one of the most important economic zone in China, even in Asia and the world. With the economic boom of PRDR, the resources of the estuary such as the harbor, channel, reclamation zone etc.

  • For Information Legislative Council Panel on Environmental Affairs
    CB(1) 516/05-06(01) For Information Legislative Council Panel on Environmental Affairs Legislative Council Panel on Planning, Lands and Works Information Note on Overall Sewage Infrastructure in Hong Kong Purpose This note informs members on the policy behind and progress of sewage infrastructure planning and implementation in Hong Kong. Policy Goals for the Provision of Sewage Infrastructure 2. The policy goals for the provision of sewage infrastructure are the protection of public health and the attainment of the declared Water Quality Objectives for the receiving water environment. The latter are set so as to ensure our waters are of a sufficient quality to sustain certain uses which are valued by the community. These include, variously, abstraction for potable supply, swimming, secondary contact recreation such as yachting, and the ability to sustain healthy marine and freshwater ecosystems. The Sewerage Planning Process 3. The sewerage planning process entails the systematic review of the sewerage needs in each sewerage catchment with the aim of drawing up a series of Sewerage Master Plans (SMPs) devised so as to ensure the above policy goals will be met. A total of 16 SMPs covering the whole of Hong Kong were completed between 1989 and 1996 (Annex 1). The SMPs started with those covering areas where waters were close to or exceeded their assimilative limits, were highly valued, or where excessive pollution had resulted in environmental black spots. For example, Hong Kong Island South SMP covering sensitive beach areas and Tolo Harbour SMP covering nutrient loaded Tolo Harbour were among the earliest conducted SMPs. Each study made recommendations for the appropriate network of sewers, pumping stations and treatment facilities for the proper collection, treatment and disposal of sewage generated in the catchment, with the aim of catering for the present and future development needs.

  • WORKING PAPER No. 39 INITIAL ASSESSMENT of POSSIBLE PORT DEVELOPMENT SITES
    This subject paper is intended to be a research paper delving into different views and analyses from various sources. The views and analyses as contained in this paper are intended to stimulate public discussion and input to the planning process of the "HK2030 Study" and do not necessarily represent the views of the HKSARG. WORKING PAPER No. 39 INITIAL ASSESSMENT OF POSSIBLE PORT DEVELOPMENT SITES Background 1. The port is a vital economic infrastructure of Hong Kong. As a result of rapid economic growth in Southern China and Mainland’s accession to the World Trade Organization, the Port Development Strategy Review (PDSR) 2001 recommended that the existing container terminals may not have sufficient capacity to meet long-term need and the next container terminal would be required in early next decade1. 2. In planning for the future port development, our objective is to formulate a sustainable port development strategy which will take into account both the economic needs for further port facilities and the possible measures to mitigate the existing and new environmental problems. As for future port location, four potential sites for future container port development were shortlisted by PDSR 2001 for further investigation, namely West Tuen Mun, East Lantau, Northwest Lantau and Southwest Tsing Yi. To finalise the best site for future container port development, the sites are now being further investigated under the Study on Hong Kong Port- Master Plan 2020 (HKP2020) to be completed in early 2004. In view of the proximity of the East Lantau site to the Disney Development, this site has not been selected for further detailed assessment.

    Agreement No. CE 41/98 EIA - Final Assessment Report Tai O Sheltered Boat Anchorage - Environmental Impact Assessment May 2000 Civil Engineering Department Appendices Appendix 6 BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON FISHERIES AT TAI O/NORTH LANTAU Scott Wilson (Hong Kong) Ltd ! P:\HOME\ENVIRO\R\98117\Final\EIA\Appendices.doc Appx 71 Agreement No. CE 41/98 EIA - Final Assessment Report Tai O Sheltered Boat Anchorage - Environmental Impact Assessment May 2000 Civil Engineering Department Appendices A6 BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON FISHERIES AT TAI O/NORTH LANTAU A6.1 Introduction A search for background information on fisheries at Tai O found that, due to the Hong Kong/China boundary situation prior to 1997, waters of Tai O Bay and off Tai O were not surveyed by Hong Kong studies. As a result, little strictly local information on Tai O fisheries was available. Information from other fishing areas in north Lantau was used to fill this data gap as far as possible. The following references were consulted: • The Status of Fisheries in Hong Kong Waters (Richards 1980); • The Demersal Fishery Resources in Hong Kong Waters (1982-83) (Chong 1984); • Fisheries Production in Hong Kong Waters (AFD 1985); • Port Survey 1991 (AFD 1991); • The impact of dredging on fisheries sensitive receivers (Ni 1995); • Coastal ecology studies – summary data final report (Binnie 1998); • Port Survey 96/97 (AFD 1998a); • Fisheries Resources and Fishing Operations in Hong Kong Waters - Final Report (AFD 1998b); and • Study on Tonggu Waterway (Scott Wilson 1998 a, b, c). Findings of these reports were reviewed for information on common fisheries species found in north Lantau waters, number and type of fishing vessels, number of fishermen employed and total fisheries production.

  • B1 Physical Description and Fisheries Setting
    B1 PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION AND FISHERIES SETTING B1.1 INTRODUCTION This Annex provides background information on the Hong Kong fishing and aquaculture industry as well as a high‐level description of the physical and fisheries characters of western Hong Kong waters, in particular north and west Lantau waters. This review provides the basis for identifying key habitats, species, fisheries resources or fishermen that may warrant focused effort in enhancement and support under the Fisheries Management Plan (FMP). A description on the current planning of the 3RS Project is also presented. B1.2 PHYSICAL SETTING The 3RS project area mainly comprises approximately 650 ha of land formation in marine open waters and seawall development of approximately 5.9 km immediately north of the HKIA existing platform in the northern Lantau waters. The resulting loss of seabed comprises of marine sediment and debris formed from natural sedimentation with the influence of flows from the Pearl River Estuary (PRE). The existing seawall is largely constructed of sloping armour rock with the berthing point being constructed of vertical concrete. The hydrodynamic regime in the western Hong Kong waters is complex and varies with a number of factors including the lunar cycle (spring and neap tides), the season and the rate of flow of the Pearl River. In general, the main ebb tide currents flow south along the Urmston Road, with a subsidiary flow bifurcating northwest of Chek Lap Kok to flow south down the west coast of Lantau, and southeast around the east of Chek Lap Kok Island. Flood tides show the reverse pattern. The Pearl River, situated in a sub‐tropical climate, brings along with heavy loads of suspended sediment and nitrates during summer (wet) season and as a consequence concentrations of these parameters within western waters are variable but generally far higher than in the more oceanic influenced waters to the south and east of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge Background In January 2003, the HKSAR and the National Development and Reform Commission jointly commissioned the Institution of Comprehensive Transportation to conduct a study on the transport linkage between the HKSAR and Pearl River West. Completed in July 2003, the study concluded that the construction of a land transport link between Hong Kong and Pearl River West would contribute to the development of tourism, logistics, finance and trade in Hong Kong, reinforce our status as an international shipping and aviation centre, and also promote the economic integration between Hong Kong and Pearl River West. After the State Council had given approval for the Governments of the HKSAR, Guangdong Province and the Macao Special Administrative Region (Macao SAR) to proceed with the preparatory work for the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge (HZMB), the three Governments set up the HZMB Advance Work Co-ordination Group in August 2003 and commissioned a feasibility study for the project subsequently. The three Governments are now deliberating the findings of the study and is mapping out the actions that should be taken in the next stage of work. On another front, the HKSAR Government is undertaking an Investigation and Preliminary Design Study on the Hong Kong Section of the HZMB and its connection with the North Lantau Highway (NLHC). Location of the landing point of the HZMB in Hong Kong Geographically, the Bridge has to land in the western part of Hong Kong.
