WATER QUALITY IN HONG KONG - AN OVERVIEW

The State of Our Waters
Water pollution can be invisible to the naked eye, but its impacts are for the most part clear enough. Bacteria, nutrients and other pollutants can make swimmers sick, contaminate or kill marine life, and give off bad smells. Like other major cities in the world, Hong Kong is working diligently to improve its water quality. Our pollutants come from human and industrial sources and livestock farms, and programmes are underway to reduce pollution loads. At the same time, we are working hard to retain the unspoiled clean water in remote areas.

Our water quality has improved within some parameters in recent years, but it is not enough for a clean bill of health, particularly in areas like Inner Deep Bay and Victoria Harbour. An expected growth in population will put added pressure on water quality. from Environmental Protection Department
