Seawater Desalination

136.     As a responsible member of the PRD Economic Zone, we strive to explore other sources of water supply to meet our own needs.  We have kept abreast of the latest developments in desalination technology and prepared for the related planning and studies so that other water sources can be tapped in good time in case of water shortage.  We are conducting a detailed study and field surveys to assess the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of building a medium-sized desalination plant.  A site has been reserved in Tseung Kwan O.
