		Basically, the contingency plan is to stop receiving Dongjiang water immediately, and maintain water supply for the territory solely with the storage in local reservoirs.
		In fact, water supply from Dongjiang is suspended for one month every year for the purpose of maintenance and inspection of the supply system.
		In such case, WSD will stop receiving Dongjiang water immediately and maintain water supply for Hong Kong solely with the water storage in local reservoirs which is generally sufficient to meet our own consumption for several months.

		While there appeared to have excessive raw water in the past few years, the situation would have been different and extra Dongjiang water would be needed should the most severe historical drought occur in the same years.
		9.While the quality of Dongjiang water meets with the national standards at the intake point in Dongjiang, it has been vulnerable to contamination from the Dongjiang intake point to Shenzhen as a result of the rapid development along the open channel supply route since the mid 90.
		The moving of the intake point at Dongjiang to a better location upstream in 1998, by constructing the new Tai Yuan Pumping Station, has effectively avoided the pollution discharged from Sima River which was next to the old pumping station.

	Can the Pearl River Delta Region Still Compete -- CBR May-Jun 2003
		Over the last 15 years, the small, medium, and large towns throughout the Dongjiang UR have been competing intensely among themselves, first to attract the low value-added manufacturing that was relocating out of Hong Kong, and then to attract similar investment from Taiwan.
		Sandwiched between the Dongjiang UR and the Shenzhen MR, there is no administratively defined city in the East-central delta; the northern half falls under the Dongguan Prefecture and the southern half in Shenzhen.
		This region is similar to the Dongjiang area in terms of economic and institutional characteristics but has experienced even greater sprawl and more piecemeal growth.

	Weekend Standard - Treading water
		By acceding to development limitations along the Dongjiang and allowing the closed aqueduct to divert water that would dilute pollutants, Guangdong residents, she says, ``have sacrificed quite a lot for Hong Kong''.
		The 1989 agreement was amended in 1998 to cut the annual increase in Dongjiang supply from 30 million cubic metres to 10 million, but officials entered the talks seeking an absolute reduction.
		Secretary for the Environment, Transport and Works Sarah Liao said in 2002 that the polluted stretch of the river was extending upstream so fast that she expected the usable supply to the SAR to run short within 10 years unless the trend is checked.

		In the mid-90's, the quality of Dongjiang water started to deteriorate due to rapid economic development, particularly in the Dongshen area.
		While the quality of Dongjiang water at the intake point of Taiyuan Pumping Station meets the national standard on raw water, it is still vulnerable to contamination when delivered to Shenzhen through an open transfer channel along Shima River.

	Aqueduct to improve Dongjiang water quality
		Concerns over the water quality of Dongjiang, a major source of fresh water for Hong Kong, are likely to evaporate now that a closed aqueduct has been built between the Dongjiang intake and the Shenzhen Reservoir.
		Assistant Director of Water Supplies Damien Ku said the department has attached great importance to Dongjiang water quality and liaised closely with the Guangdong authority to deal with the issue.
		The main focus of the project was to build a closed aqueduct to convey water from Dongjiang directly to the Shenzhen Reservoir, isolating the water to be supplied to Hong Kong from all possible pollution sources.

		Although Dongjiang water has not been affected by the salt tides occurring in certain parts of Guangdong Province due to the backward flow of seawater, the Liberal Party considers that, with the agreement of the two parties, there is still room for further improvement in water quality and prices.
		For instance, the intake point of Dongjiang water was already moved upward in 2003 to Taiyuen in Dongguan and the construction of a closed aqueduct was completed in mid-2003 in the hope of preventing the quality of potable water supplied to Hong Kong from being contaminated.
		Confronted with the water quality problem, the Water Supplies Department has merely been stating equivocally that the quality of Dongjiang water consumed in Hong Kong meets the requirement and is suitable for public consumption after treatment — I must stress that I am referring to the treated Dongjiang water.

		The water intake point at Dongjiang was relocated in September 1998 to another point where the water quality is better and to avoid the contamination from one of its distributory rivers.
		There were also discussions between Guangdong and Hong Kong sides in early 1998 on the suggestion to move the water intake point further north to Xingfengjiang Reservoir, which is over 200 km away from Shenzhen, i.e.

		As such, the price of Dongjiang water cannot be determined solely by the changes in price indices of the two places and movements in the exchange rate between Hong Kong Dollar and Renminbi.
		The details of the latest agreement on the price and supply quantities of Dongjiang water have yet to be finalised, the relevant details and arrangements could not be disclosed at this stage.

		Chemical contamination of the East River (Dongjiang) and its implication on sustainable development in the Pearl River Delta.
		According to photogrammertic surveys, the sources of contamination are closely related to human activities, such as domestic and industrial discharges, agricultural chemical applications and soil erosion due to deforestation.
		Since Dongjiang is the major source of potable water supply for Hong Kong (nearly 80% of potable water of Hong Kong is abstracted from Dongjiang) and the other parts of the Pearl River Delta (PRD), such organic and inorganic pollution merit concern.

	The Standard - Hong Kong water supply unaffected by drought - Metro Section
		Officials from the Water Supply Quality Advisory Committee, who travelled to the Dongjiang on an inspection trip last week, reported back that despite the drought, Guangdong officials ``pledged that the supply to Hong Kong is their first priority'', Suen said.
		Hong Kong pays six times as much as Shenzhen and Dongguan for Dongjiang water, giving Guangdong a fat financial incentive to favour the SAR as the river's outflow is marketed by Guangdong Investment, a Hong Kong-listed company controlled by the provincial government.
		Ominously, however, mainland press reports say that the lowered level of the Dongjiang has led to a backflow of sea water from the river delta which has prevented sewage from washing out to sea and led to complaints of salty drinking water in Dongguan.
