ties of the Shing Mun valley it was decided about a year ago to proceed with the construction of a conrrete dam in the Shing Mun Gorge. The dam proposed will contain about 300,000 cubic yards uf concrete, and is designed to store approximately 3,000 million gallons and to supply an additional 91 million gallons a day. It is anticipated that this additional quantity of water will meet the requirements of Hong Kong and Kowloon until about the year 1013, but by the construction of catch waters, water from an adjacent catchment area can be introduced into the reservoir and an addition al 5 million gallons, a day made available.
