In Yuen Long, the problems are similar to

the rest of the New Territories. According to a 1979

survey the Yuen Long Nullah receives the bulk of

the wastes from about 76,000 pigs, 532,000 chickens

and 57,000 ducks, together with the wastes from the

majority of about 30,000 people who live in old style

village housing and temporary structures in the area.
