The season of short water supply is now upon us; or rather, it would be more exact to say the season in which we have frequently run short of water in past years. It may be news to our new Director of Public Works that, since the completion of the splendid waterworks at Tytam, Hongkong has several times been face to face with a water famine, and is not yet very far removed from the possibility of a repetition. The enlargements of the storage capacity are very satisfactory as far as they go, but the population is Increasing all the time, and Hongkong has an unusually wasteful population.
