The patience and tolerance of those who had to queue for fresh water (above) won the admiration of every- one in Hong Kong. Despite their hardships there were few incidents at
the standpipes.
In areas where there were no indivi- dual fresh water pipes (right) increased supplies were given for a limited period every alternate day. Control of the queues was maintained by the Kaifong Associations and the Police.
