Fittings and Plumbing is No. 16 of 1903. An examination of

MAINLAND RESOURCES.
21.
There are two impounding reservoirs on the Kowloon
side with a gross capacity of 469 M.G. which are fed by 1,290
acres of direct and indirect catchment.
22.
We estimate the maintainable yield of these
23.
sources to be 2'7 M.G.D.
Byewash
When the Kowloon Reservoir is completed in a few
months' time, the maintainable yield will be increased to
3.0 M.G.D.

25.
In addition to these sources there are the waters
of the Shing Mun which are brought into the Reception reservoir
adjacent to the Kowloon Reservoir. We can accept Mr.
Henderson's figure of 3 M.G.D. as the yield of this source
with a simple intake.
6.0 M.G.D.
The total resources of the Mainland are now

Although there were no restrictions from 1906 to
1921 inclusive, any figures based upon the rate of increase
