In 2020/21, we saw a 17% reduction in the net yield compared to the average over the previous 20 years while the per capita domestic fresh water consumption increased by about 11% compared to the figure in 2019/20. Ensuring the long-term sustainability, resilience and safety of water supplies is key to the continuous development of our city amidst a rapidly changing world influenced by increasing climate risks, future growing population and economies, unprecedented outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic and evolving customer needs.
MoreFrom water resources and water quality management, waterworks infrastructure planning and construction, to waterworks asset management and operations, we strive to adopt a smarter and more strategic approach, and leverage the latest technologies and robust stakeholder support for continuous improvement in the sustainability, reliability and resilience of Hong Kong’s water supplies.
