The river system, like the mountain ranges, is divided into two portions — northern and southern.
The chief river of the northern section and largest in this territory is the Sham Chun river, which has three tributaries — a northern and a southern branch, and an eastern branch. The northern branch rises in the mountains on the borders of the Tung Kun and San On districts and, flowing in a south-westerly direction, joins the main river of Sham Chun. The eastern branch rises in the low hills west of Starling Inlet and flows in a westerly direction, joining the main river to the south. The southern branch has its source in Kan Lung Hang, north-west of Jai-po-hsien, and flows in a north-westerly direction, falling into the main river Sham Chun a few miles below. All these branches are good-sized mountain streams.
As a source of irrigation, they are most valuable for the cultivated land throughout...
