Stephanus Shou: Let me introduce some of the signature work that we have been working for our client--Water Supplies Department, in Hong Kong. Active leakage controls is one of the most strategic measures to control the non-resident water within the territory. Pressure management and continuous monitoring schemes is one of the most efficient and effective measures to control the non-resident water.
Let me introduce some of the features in Hong Kong. We have a lot of hills in Hong Kong, in such a way that some of the low-lying areas are subject to excessive pressure. From a basic principle of physics, excessive pressure will have pipe leaks and pipe bursts. Pressure management is one of the most effective ways to reduce the pressure within the distribution system, and thus reduce the pipe leaks and pipe bursts.
Since 2005, we have been commissioned by the Water Supplies Department to carry out studies and design of these pressure management schemes. Out of 17 major supply zones within the territories, we have been working on at least 15 major supply zones.
Since 2008, we have also been commissioned by Water Supplies Department to implement all these pressure management schemes within Hong Kong, and within 2 1/2 years we have completed all the necessary schemes within Kowloon Central, which is one of the busiest districts within Hong Kong.
As a result, we are able to save 80 cubic meters of water per hour and that's equivalent to 2 million liters of water in a day, and that's also equivalent to almost 730 million liters of water in a year.
In coming decades, we will be implementing further management schemes within Hong Kong and this is the aim of the client to reduce the leaks from 24 percent in the year 2000, down to 15 by 2015.
