Programme Highlight

Water Supplies Department (WSD) promulgated the Total Water Management Strategy (the Strategy) in 2008 which mapped out the strategy for sustainable use of water. WSD then completed a review on the Strategy in 2019. Tseung Kwan O Desalination Plant (the Plant) is one of the measures to build resilience in fresh water supply. Reverse Osmosis (RO) technology is adopted to remove salts and impurities from seawater. This seminar will present how WSD decided to implement the Plant. First stage of the Plant and its design under Contract No. 13/WSD/17 will also be introduced.
