High Island Reservoir, Reservoir in Sai Kung District, Hong Kong.
High Island Reservoir occupies an extensive area of 100 hectares, featuring two main dams that connect the water body to the Sai Kung Peninsula.
The construction of this reservoir began in 1969 following water supply concerns during the 1967 Hong Kong riots, with completion achieved in 1978.
The reservoir area includes memorial structures dedicated to five workers who lost their lives during the construction phase of this water infrastructure project.
The reservoir maintains a storage capacity of 273 million cubic meters of water and includes three additional smaller dams in surrounding valleys.
The facility incorporates five miles of aqueducts that transfer water from multiple streams across the Sai Kung Peninsula into the main reservoir basin.
