Hong Kong's water storage capacity has increased dramatically over the past few years. A total capacity of 68,000 million gallons, a regular supply from China and new projects under construction and planned should be sufficient to meet the ter- ritory's needs in the years to come. In 1973 work was completed on the massive Plover Cove reservoir to raise the height of the dams and increase the storage capacity by 14,000 million gallons. Another ambitious scheme is the 60,000-million-gallon High Island reservoir, due for completion in 1979. The island is being joined to the mainland with two huge dams.
