The prosperity of Hong Kong today cannot be achieved without the help of the motherland.
In the early 1960s, Hong Kong suffered from a severe drought and water shortage reached the point where the water supply was only four hours a day. The Central Government decided to build the Dongshen Water Supply Project to relieve Hong Kong’s water difficulties.
The Dongshen Water Supply Project, the largest inter-basin water transfer project in the country at that time, completely ended the difficult situation of severe water shortage in Hong Kong, and laid a solid foundation for Hong Kong to solve basic livelihood problems and rapid economic development. By December 2017, the project had supplied a total of 24 billion cubic meters of water to Hong Kong, equivalent to carrying 1.5 Dongting Lakes, bókhald fyrir 75% of Hong Kong’s total water demand.
Nowadays, with sufficient water, we should cherish water resources all the more.

3. Skip the Half-Loads
Half-loaded dishwasher or washing machines are a huge source of waste, so if possible, wait until you have a full load before running your next cycle.
4. Catch and Reuse
To further conserve, use a bucket to capture water under your colander when you rinse vegetables and fruits. You can then reuse this water for watering plants or cleaning outdoor areas. More so, you can even put a bucket under your shower to catch any water that would otherwise drain away.
5. Fill Up Your Sink When Washing Dishes
Instead of running a steady stream of water to wash plates one at a time, fill the sink up and wash your dishes and cutlery in a warm, soapy bath. Once the grease and food particles have been removed, quickly rinse the items under the faucet. According to the EPA, this method uses half the amount of water you would use washing each item under a running faucet.
