The moving belt snaking over the hillside (above) carries rock and soil to barges, which transport it to the site of the Plover Cove dam. The pumping station under construction (below) will send surplus water from the Indus River for storage in Plover Cove.
Another huge project that is literally changing the face of the New Territories is the creation of a new city at Tsuen Wan (above) where ultimately there will be a population of 1,200,000. At nearby Kwai Chung (below) reclamation is going ahead rapidly to make 6,130 acres of new land. Nearly 1,000 acres will be for industry.
