Yuen
Long East District
Introduction
In the eastern region of Yuen Long District, there are two major watercourses, namely, Kam Tin River and Ngau Tam Mei Main Drainage Channel. There are also a few minor streams that flow across San Tin (e.g. the areas of Shek Wu Wai and Ki Lun Tsuen) and Ta Shek Wu respectively. The Fairview Park Nullah, which was a major watercourse previously, is now a short concreted channel under tidal influences since its upstream drainage was diverted to the Kam Tin River since 2002.
It is generally recognized that the pollution of the above watercourses, except the Fairview Park Nullah, is mainly caused by indiscriminate illegal discharges from livestock farms and unsewered developments in the catchment of individual watercourses.
There are about 104 pig farms and 55 chicken farms in the eastern region of Yuen Long District. Majority of these farms are located within the catchment of Kam Tin River and the areas of Shek Wu Wai and Ki Lun Tsuen. There are also some farms scattered at the areas of Ngau Tam Mei and Ta Shek Wu.
