Water Quality Improvement Works
The population
and economy of Hong Kong have grown rapidly since early 1980s. Sewage
pollution of local coastal water becomes an unfortunate byproduct
of such growth that the antiquated sewerage system cannot cope with.
Beaches with highly populated but inadequately sewered hinterlands
are particularly susceptible to pollution. To tackle these pollution
problems, comprehensive Sewerage Master Plans (SMPs) covering 16
areas of the whole territory have been developed for improving the
sewerage network of Hong Kong. After the commissioning of all relevant
improvement facilities recommended in the SMPs, better beach water
quality can be achieved and maintained.
