| Abstract | Water shortage is no stranger to Hong Kong. To quell the thirst, the territory relies almost completely on an outside source. Today over 75 percent of Hong Kong's fresh water is taken from the Dongjiang (East) River in China's Guangdong province. But dependence has led to a kind of complacency - a belief that fresh water is not finite. The truth is just the opposite. While Hong Kong's government may pretend otherwise, threats to supply and security loom dangerously near. |
