10. With the completion of these works, the water supply for Kowloon would be in a position to meet any demand, which might be created by a drought during the next few years, whilst without such augmentation of the present supply the position might become serious.
11. The requirements of Hong Kong Island itself during a year of average rainfall will for the present be satisfactorily met on the completion of the works in hand, though during a drought only a res- tricted supply can be made available. It will be noted that a portion of the 1st Section of the Shing Mun Scheme provides for the augmen- tation of the Hong Kong Island Supply by a trunk main through the Kowloon Peninsula and across the Harbour, but this portion of the Scheme is dependent upon the 1st portion of the 1st Section of the Scheme, which, it is hoped, may be undertaken early so as to permit of the whole of the 1st Section being completed within the next few years,
