In Yuen Long, the problems are similar to
the rest of the New Territories. According to a 1979
survey the Yuen Long Nullah receives the bulk of
the wastes from about 76,000 pigs, 532,000 chickens
and 57,000 ducks, together with the wastes from the
majority of about 30,000 people who live in old style
village housing and temporary structures in the area.
