大事紀要 Events in Brief | 水務署 | 二零一六至一七年年報 點滴揹水行2016 Walk forWater 2016 由點滴是生命在二零一六年五月八日舉辦 的「點滴揹水行」，為三千名參加者提供機 會，讓他們揹起不同容量的樽裝水，從淺 水灣沙灘展開三公里的揹水之旅。這項活 動旨在讓公眾體驗內地乾旱地區居民的揹 水之苦，並為內地山區居民籌款興建集雨 水窖。水務署署長林天星先生在活動上不 但分享了他對節約用水的心得，也參加了 步行活動。作為支持機構，水務署在活動 中設立遊戲攤位，推廣節約用水。 Organised by A Drop of Life on 8 th May 2016, “Walk for Water 2016” provided a platform for the 3,000 participants to carry different loads of bottled water on a 3-km walk starting from Repulse Bay Beach. The aim of this event was to let the public experience the hardship of carrying water in arid areas of Mainland China and to raise funds for building water cellars. The Director of Water Supplies, Mr Enoch LAM, not only shared his thoughts on water conservation, but also participated in the walk. As a supporting organisation, WSD set up a game booth at the event to promote water conservation. 2016沙田龍舟競賽 Shatin Dragon Boat Race 2016 水務署的龍舟隊於今年的端午節參加了三項龍舟競賽。我們在鳳 艇奪得殿軍；在混合賽奪得冠軍，這是水務署龍舟隊首次在沙田 龍舟競賽奪冠。得到如此出色的比賽成績，全靠隊員的專心訓練 和資深隊員的指導，以及眾多水務署同事激勵人心的吶喊助威。 This year, WSD Dragon Boat Team took part in three boat races at the Dragon Boat Festival. We won the 3 rd runner-up prize in the women’s competition and also came in as champion in the mixed match event; the first time WSD was crowned champion at the Shatin Dragon Boat Races. These exemplary race results came about following extensive and focused dragon boat trainings and coaching by experienced members as well as the inspiring cheers from many WSD colleagues at the event. 7
