Introduction of Shen Dong Water Supply Project

Dongshen Water Supply Project, the full name of Dongshen Water Supply Project, passes through China, Dongguan and Shenzhen. The water source is Dongjiang, which is a large-scale water transfer project for supplying water to Hong Kong, so it is also called "Dongjiang water". In the early days of Hong Kong's opening to the outside world, mountains, streams and rainwater have always been the main sources of water. After the establishment of the Water Supplies Department, many reservoirs and reservoirs (except private reservoirs) have been built. However, with the population pressure and the occurrence of many droughts, the British Hong Kong government conceived to buy fresh water from Guangdong Province in the 1960s to provide a stable water supply, which was implemented in the 1960s and has been in use ever since. In recent years, the pollution of Dongjiang water has attracted much attention from Guangdong and Hong Kong.
