THE WATER SUPPLY OF HONG- KONG.
We continue the Keport of the Surveyor General on the Water Supply of Hong- kung. Having abated the problem which he had to solve, Mg Pricú proceeds to ux- plain how he arrived at the solution
Our island is an arall that we comutbonat of any riters or Jakes.or of any stedám dr. group of streams sufficiently large ho be tappod, filtered, and absorbed into our xtreet tapius. In this respect we are less fortunate than English towns most of which derive their supplies from rivers in their immediate neighbourhood. Oirgunstunced us wo are, sur only recourse is to obtain our supply, by storing descended min in catch- water reservoirs for use during the long season when all streams and natural moureus aro dried up.
Our annual rainfall is large. It exceeds by many times the volume that the wildest de mad I could aspire to in connection with any water-supply to the city, and there has therefore never bon any doubt winteusver our having enough water on the island. The difficulty has been to find the boot and rost economical place whero-to build a dan oras some valley so as to make a reservoir that would catch and hald enough riu to last the town the whole of the dry season, and which would at the some time situated

or gorgo as possible, in order to curtail to the shortest possible proportions the length of the diam, the dan buing always the most expensive feature in works of this nature.
A detailed exploration of the entiro topography of Hongkong, was therefore commenced in quest of such a site. The surveys, extended over several months, and brought to light two important and indisputable facts: that there did not exist to the whole island a single site for a the whole of the preced- resorycir fuldling
ing conditions, and (ii) that there were only tkroe valleys, whones alone any winter supply could be caught and impounded in quantities suficient to entitle such valleys eron to consideration as possible sites for Bources of supply. These were the Pok- foolum, Aberdeen, and Tytan Valleys.
Before dilating on the works actually in progress at Tytac it will not be amiss to review the facilities for water yorks pre- sented at Aberdeen and Pokfoolum. think the elucidation of this matter the more desirablo, that I am given to under- stand there still exist misconceptions as to the selection of Tysum having been made without due consideration of the rival cheiros of other possible sources of supply which it is thought might have been uti- lised at lesa cost.
on this basis, the Pokfuchun drainage Available
for storage will be 180 million gallons, à volume barely sufficient to fill the triple roservoir during seasons of stnall rainfall. It would therefore, be Hecessary to increase the drainage of the valley 20 na to pince it beyond the pos- sibility of
