Quality assured: Assistant Director of Water Supplies Damien Ku says the construction of a closed aqueduct will help improve the quality of Dongjiang water supplied to Hong Kong; Bijiashan Tunnel for transporting Dongjiang water; Huizhou Meilake Water Purification Centre.

Concerns over the water quality of Dongjiang, a major source of fresh water for Hong Kong, are likely to evaporate now that a closed aqueduct has been built between the Dongjiang intake and the Shenzhen Reservoir.

 

The aqueduct goes into service today.
