Technical Visit to Yuen Long Bypass Floodway
Yuen Long Bypass Floodway is a 3.8 kilometres long drainage channel built at the south of Yuen Long Town. Different from the traditional river training works which increase the flow capacity of the rivers by straightening, widening and deepening the river channels, Yuen Long Bypass Floodway (YLBF) adopts the method of interception, intercepts 40% of the runoff in the Yuen Long Catchment, and then discharges the intercepted flow to the Deep Bay without passing through the Yuen Long Town, which reduces the flood risk of Yuen Long significantly.
DSD strives to revitalize water bodies by incorporating green and eco-conservation elements into a number of projects in hopes of beautifying river environment and promoting ecological conservation while actively providing Hong Kong with a high degree of flood protection. The Bypass Floodway has incorporated a series of environmental designs, its flow is not carried straight to the sea but passing through different regimes including bends, shallow ponds and wetland. The channel bottom and slope are covered by different species of herbaceous plants to provide a natural riverbank with aesthetic and ecological value. A system of dry weather flow pumping station and inflatable dam is provided at the downstream end to control the water level in the Bypass Floodway and to prevent polluted water in the downstream from flowing back into the Bypass Floodway.
Through this visit, you will know more about the nature-based solutions and eco elements in public works.
