Flooding blackspots in Hong Kong

Physical

DSD established a systematic approach to identify flooding blackspots in the territory in 1994. The flooding blackspots list are produced based on drainage capacity, previous flooding records, complaints received and flood protection standards at the relevant location. Setting up flooding blackspots are effective for the planning of drainage improvement works. For the commissioned drainage improvement works, their effectiveness is being monitored.
