12 CHALLENGES High water demand from densely populated territory No sizeable lakes or rivers in the territory Erratic rainfall - average 2 383mm a year with 80% in May to September Mountainous nature of water catchment areas No appreciable underground water W201312E

13 SUPPLY NEEDS AND WATER RESOURCES Demand projection Population projection and per capita consumption Economy projection High, medium and low water demand projection Available sources of raw water Local water catchment Imported water with supply agreement W201313E

14 WATER SUPPLY HISTORY DAYS ON FULL SUPPLY WAR-TIME (NO RECORDS) FINANCIAL YEAR (Financial year = 1 st April to 31 st March ) W201314E

15 SUPPLY FROM GUANGDONG Starting from 1960, Hong Kong has been importing raw water from Guangdong Province via Shenzhen. According to the latest agreement made in 2011, the supply rates are to be determined monthly based on Hong Kong s actual need. The supply quantity for year 2012 was 709 Mm 3, providing about 75.8% of the fresh water demand of the year. The supply is normally delivered from 1 January to 29 November and shutdown from 30 November to 31 December for maintenance each year. W201315E

16 OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES Before having an adequate supply of raw water from Guangdong: During wet seasons, the water levels of individual reservoirs were balanced in such a way that the chances of overflow would be more or less the same. During dry seasons or in the event of a drought, the water levels of individual reservoirs were balanced in such a way that the chances of falling down to the respective control levels be more or less the same, below such levels local water supply restrictions might have to be applied. W201316E

17 OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES With adequate raw water supply from Guangdong now: During wet seasons, draw-offs from individual reservoirs are maximized to meet the local demands as far as possible with minimum transfer of water from other sources. When the reservoirs receiving the imported raw water are having a high chance of overflow, arrangements will be made to reduce the imported supply rate. W201317E

18 OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES During dry seasons and during the annual shutdown period, the storage levels of individual reservoirs are monitored and adjusted to allow reasonable vacant storage for accepting inflow from local catchments with balanced chances of overflow among all reservoirs in the following wet season. The storage levels of individual reservoirs are always maintained above the respective control levels to ensure adequate supply to the dependent supply zones even in the event of a 1 in 100 years drought. W201318E

19 OPERATIONAL STRATEGIES The operation of the water resources systems: Always to aim at minimizing the risk of local or territory-wide water rationing in the first place To save operation costs by rational water transfer with consideration to the chances of individual reservoirs getting overflow and the risks of falling below the critical storage levels To ensure maximum operational reliability by carrying out necessary maintenance of the water transfer systems W201319E

21 WATER DEMAND Population is reaching 7.15 million. Demand of fresh water is around 935 Mm 3 /year. During 1970's and 1980's, there was a rapid demand growth at 6% per annum brought about by economic boom. In the 1990's, the demand growth rate started to slow down due to the industries moving to Mainland China. W201321E

22 WATER DEMAND CONSUMPTION ( x m 3 /d ) MONTHLY AVERAGE CONSUMPTION 12 MONTHS RUNNING AVERAGE RESTRICTED SUPPLY Year W201322E

23 LOCAL RESOURCES Hong Kong has a geographic coverage of around km 2. About 1/3 of the total land area is designated as water gathering grounds. Altogether there are 17 impounding reservoirs with a total effective storage capacity of 586 Mm 3. The last two reservoirs (namely Plover Cove Reservoir and High Island Reservoir) had to be built in the sea due to lack of land. W201323E
