Water from Guangdong

Guangdong rivers are Hong Kong's major source of water, and will meet
all future increases in demand. This arrangement dates from 1960, when
a scheme was formulated for receiving a piped supply of 22.7 million
cubic metres a year. The supply from Guangdong stipulated under the
agreements was increased to 750 million cubic metres a year in 1997.
This will continue to increase in stages until the present designed
maximum capacity of the supply system of 1.1 billion cubic metres per
annum is reached.
