Environmental Protection Liaison Group concludes meeting
The Hong Kong-Guangdong Environmental Protection Liaison Group (EPLG) held its sixth meeting yesterday (Monday) at Guangzhou.
Both sides reviewed the work in 1995 and discussed future plan for 1996.
At the meeting, the Technical Sub-group reported progress of the past year, and submitted the Final Report on Air, Water and Sediment Quality of the Deep Bay Joint Monitoring Programme.
The EPLG endorsed the report unanimously and expressed satisfaction at the successful completion of the joint monitoring work.
Both sides expressed concern about the serious water pollution problem of water catchment areas around Deep Bay and the water quality of Deep Bay as reflected in the study. The two sides agreed they should continue to jointly monitor water and air quality and conduct modelling work on Deep Bay water quality.
Following the success in joint study and monitoring work, both sides agreed to undertake a similar study at Mirs Bay. The scope of the study was agreed at the meeting.
