Water supply and sanitation in Hong Kong is characterised by water import, reservoirs and treatment infrastructure. Though multiple measures were made throughout its history, providing an adequate water supply for Hong Kong has met with numerous challenges because the region has few natural lakes and rivers, inadequate groundwater sources (inaccessible in most cases due to the hard granite bedrock found in most areas in the territory), a high population density, and extreme seasonable variations in rainfall. Thus nearly 80 percent of water demand is met by importing water from mainland China, based on a longstanding contract. In addition, freshwater demand is curtailed by the use of seawater for toilet flushing, using a separate distribution system. Hong Kong also uses reservoirs and water

rdfs:comment	香港供水現時由水務署負責，香港除了本身的儲水庫，主要是鄰近廣東省提供東江水。2017年，香港的總用水量達12.58億立方米。其中，本地集水區收集的雨水佔26%，從廣東輸入的東江水佔52%，沖廁用海水佔22%。在19世紀至20世紀，鑑於香港淡水短缺，加上缺乏天然，當時的香港政府已經在不同地區興建多個稱為「水塘」的儲水庫（兩個圍海築成的水庫並不稱為水塘）。直到現在，多個香港水庫的總儲水量約5.86億立方米。因水庫收集雨水量不足以應付人口需求，1960年，香港政府已經向廣東購買達2,270萬立方米的東江水，隨著用量增加，至2000年，香港政府當年就向廣東省購買了7.8億立方米的東江水。除了提供主要用於食用、灌溉等用途的淡水外，香港供水系統亦供應鹹水，主要用作沖廁之用，而淡水和鹹水分別由兩組完全獨立系統所供應。而為了未來的持續發展提供用水計劃，香港正加強公眾教育，鼓勵香港市民節約用水，同時亦探索開發新水源應對，當前研究再造水及海水化淡等方案用作後補水源，以免過份依賴東江水供應，因受全球氣候變化影響，東江流域未來會受到降雨減少的挑戰，而且珠江流域的城市對水的需求也日益增加，所以可供應的水量會受短期的泛濫與旱災和長期的氣候變化影響。 (zh) Water supply and sanitation in Hong Kong is characterised by water import, reservoirs and treatment infrastructure.
