It is not improbable, however, that both sites at

Gin Drinkers Bay may prove unfavourable, thus cutting out

large potential storage.

It would appear, therefore, that the upper Shing Mun Valley should be developed to the utmost and, to do this

the Gorge Dam should be made of as great a height as is

consistent with safety.
