TAI LAM RESERVOIR with a storage capacity of just over 4,500 million gallons, was completed and brought into full use in 1957. This photo- graph, which shows the great dam, some 2,200 feet long and 180 feet high, was taken when a party of New Territories farmers toured the Tai Lam Reservoir area and saw for themselves how the ancillary catchment schemes would benefit them by providing water during the dry months of winter, and also by preventing flooding of their fields during the rainy season.
