Plover Cove Reservoir
Plover Cove Reservoir (Chinese: 船灣淡水湖, Cantonese Pingyam: Syun4 Waan1 Taam2 Soeyu2 Wu4), located within Plover Cove Country Park,〔(Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department: Plover Cove Country Park )〕 in the northeastern New Territories, is the largest reservoir in Hong Kong in terms of area, and the second-largest in terms of volume. It was the first in the world to construct a lake from an arm of the ocean. Its main dam was one of the largest in the world at the time of its construction, disconnecting Plover Cove from the sea.
==Construction==
The location was a former cove (bay, as the name suggests) and was a popular hiking site. Construction work commenced in 1960 and was completed in 1968, providing a capacity of 170 million m3. Work on raising the height of the dams began in 1970. Upon completion in 1973, the reservoir capacity was increased to 230 million m3.〔(Water Supplies Department: Plover Cove Reservoir )〕
One main dam and three service dams were built to shut the cove off from the sea. The cove was then drained and was converted into a fresh-water lake.
The dam of the Reservoir is 28m tall〔 and approximately 2 km long.〔 Besides rain from its catchment, it also stores water imported by pipes from Dongjiang. The Bride's Pool flows into the Plover Cove Reservoir.
