a) Local Drainage Improvement Works

A series of local drainage improvement projects are being carried out in the New Territories. These projects consist mainly of the improvement of local channels and village drains, and are implemented under the Rural Planning and Improvement Strategy programme managed by the Home Affairs Department. These works will alleviate the local flooding situation in flood prone rural areas.
