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.

For further information please contact Janet Lee (Conservation Officer, Mai Po Projects) on 3193-7502.
