Recreation

In response to Robin Gauld's letter which appeared in the South China Morning Post, on July 23, implicitly criticising swimming in and fishing Pokfulam Reservoir, I must point out that British reservoirs happily support these activities as well as sailing and in some, water skiing.

The prime purpose of the reservoir is to store water - as long as it does that there is no reason why it should not also provide recreation.

With proper management nature, leisure and thirst can all be satisfied.
