Ma Wat River
Ma Wat River is located at Fanling. It connects Kau Lung Hang Shan northwards towards Ng Tung River near Kan Lung Tsuen. The river section with grassed cellular concrete embankment was channelized in 2008. DSD started an ecological enhancement site trial in this section and the immediately downstream section near Jockey Club Road and Fanling Highway in late 2015. The details of the site trial are presented in the Site Trial section.
