- What is the relationship between implementing Total Water Management Strategy and sustainable development in Hong Kong?
- Desalination is a way to relieve water shortage but with high cost. Should Hong Kong take Singapore as an example and expand the development of desalination?
- The purchase of Dongjiang water can undoubtedly satisfy Hong Kong's need. Nevertheless, Hong Kong continues to explore and develop the technologies of recycled water and desalination in a hope to reduce the consumption of water from Dongjiang as well as to achieve the sustainability of water supply. What are the factors to be considered when implementing the technologies? Please illustrate by technology control, cost effectiveness, infrastructure development, effect on environment/residents, public acceptability, and the data collected from other countries (e.g. Singapore).
