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. -

Hong Kong Weather Services for Shipping
HONG KONG WEATHER SERVICES FOR SHIPPING 16th EDITION 2007 Hong Kong © Copyright reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced without the permission of the Director of the Hong Kong Observatory. NOTES: The Hong Kong Observatory is located at latitude 22°18’N and longitude 114°10’E. Since 1 January 1972, the Hong Kong Time Service has been based on Co-ordinated Universal Time (UTC). The Hong Kong Time (HKT) is 8 hours ahead of UTC and for most practical purposes, UTC can be taken to be the same as Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). Since 1 January 1986, the Hong Kong Observatory has adopted metric units in the provision of weather services to the public. This includes the use of ‘kilometres’ (km) for measurement of horizontal distance and ‘kilometres per hour’ (km/h) for measurement of wind speed and speed of movement of weather systems. However, the units ‘knots’ and ‘nautical miles’ remain to be used in weather bulletins and warnings for international shipping. For ease of reference, wind speeds in knots and metric units corresponding to each category of the Beaufort scale of wind force adopted by the Hong Kong Observatory are given in Appendix I. The information given in this publication is also available on the Hong Kong Observatory website: http://www.hko.gov.hk/wservice/tsheet/pms/index_e.htm CONTENTS Page 1 INTRODUCTION 5 2 WEATHER SERVICES FOR SHIPS IN THE CHINA SEAS AND THE WESTERN NORTH PACIFIC 5 2.1 Meteorological Messages for the Global Maritime Distress and Safety System 5 2.2 Marine Weather Forecasts 6 2.3 Weather Information -
