De-silting Works in Gei wai #12 : Summer 2008
De-silting the water channels in Gei wai #12 : Summer 2008
在過去的十至二十，基圍12的底部累積了大量淤泥，引致基圍的河道變得越來越淺並生滿蘆葦，減少了開闊的生境，令河道不再適合水鳥棲息。
為了提供開闊的生境讓水鳥棲息，基圍12周邊及內部的河道將進行挖泥工程，生長在河道裡的蘆葦將被清除。這項工程由2008年7月至10月進行。以上工程進行期間，若為閣下構成任何不便，本會謹此致歉。如欲查詢進一步資料，請聯絡米埔自然保護區李嘉慧，電話：3193-7502。
In the last 10-20 years, silt has accumulated on the bottom of the channels inside gei wai #12. As a result, the channels have slowly become more shallow and allowed Reed Grass to invade thus resulting in a loss of open water area needed by waterbirds. In order to re-establish the area of open water, the outer perimeter and interior cross-channels will be de-silted between July and October 2008.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause over the coming months.
