Draft Area Plan for Ganges Drainage Basin gazetted
The Drainage Authority has prepared a draft Drainage Authority Area plan for the Ganges Drainage Basin, one of the most flood prone drainage basin in the territory.
A spokesman for the Drainage Services Department said today (Friday) that the draft plan covered an area of about 24 square kilometres and included mainly Ta Kwu Ling, Ping Che and Hung Lung Hang.
"About seven kilometres of watercourses are being designated as maincourses on the draft plan," he said.
Upon first publication of the draft plan in the Gazette today, the Drainage Authority is given various powers under the Land Drainage Ordinance to executive drainage works, to enter upon private land for executing drainage works, and to exercise control on erection of structures within the main watercourses.
