		Tides in the harbour in 1937 were estimated to be 6 ft. above normal and the tidal wave in Tolo Harbour was reported to be about 30 ft. high.
		However there were no tide gauges in Tolo Harbour and the stationmaster at Sha Tin said that there was practically no difference between the two typhoons in the maximum heights reached at the Railway Station.

		TOLO HIGHWAY BRIDGES, HONG KONG Peter Fraenkel & Partners were appointed by the Hong Kong Government to prepare the preliminary and detailed design and contract documentation for a 7.5 km new road between Sha Tin and Tai Po in the New Territories.
		Almost the entire length of the road is located offshore on the west side of Tolo Harbour, in water up to 5 metres deep and over considerable depths of marine silts and clays.
		Amongst the bridges on the Tolo Highway, one of the most attractive is the slender prestressed concrete bridge at Ma Liu Shui which carries the New Territories cycle track system over the highway.

	Report on a Regional Study and Workshop on the Environmental Assessment and Management of Aquaculture Development (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Urban development had led to a deterioration in water quality in Tolo Harbour, causing red tide outbreaks and fish kills and, after implementation of the Water Pollution Control Ordinance, Tolo Harbour was the first Water Control Zone to be declared in 1987.
		In Tolo Harbour, red tides have occurred frequently and about 50% of the annual reported red tide incidents were found in Tolo (Table 3).
		In addition, studies are being undertaken in particular areas that would reduce the impact of aquaculture on the environment, such as the development of artificial pelleted feeds to replace the traditional trash fish and investigations into the possibility of open sea fish farming.

	Eutrophication Model for a Coastal Bay in Hong Kong (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The structure of the model is based on a generally accepted framework with the exception of the interaction between the two layers via vertical advection and turbulent diffusion.
		Some kinetic coefficients are calibrated with field data specifically for the scenario in Tolo Harbour, Hong Kong.
		The computed results show that the present model successfully reproduces the stratification tendency in all the water quality constituents, showing an obvious bottom water anoxic condition during the summer, which is consistent with the density stratification and the unsteady layer-averaged 2D eutrophication processes in Tolo Harbour.

		Hong Kong's most powerful typhoon on record, Wanda, also pushed a tidal wave through Tolo Harbour, but this time residents were forewarned, and though properties were wrecked there was far less loss of life, with 127 fatalities in all.
		Its arrival on the morning of 1 September 1962 coincided with the forecast 7-foot high tide, and in Tolo Harbour the water level was around ten feet higher than this forecast height, with wind-driven waves pushing the water level another six feet higher (to around 23 feet above "chart datum") near Sha Tin.
