Guangdong Guangdong-Hong Kong Water Supply Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Guangdong Yuehai Group, is a Sino-foreign cooperative enterprise established in 2000 on the basis of the restructuring of the former Dongjiang-Shenzhen Water Supply Engineering Administration of Guangdong Province. Established in 1965, the Dongshen Water Supply Works Authority is responsible for the management of the Dongshen Water Supply Project, the supply and sale of raw water to Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Dongguan. After the establishment of Guangdong Guangdong-Hong Kong Water Supply Co., Ltd., it undertook the above functions of the Dongshen Water Supply Engineering Administration.
The Dongjiang-Shenzhen Water Supply Project in Guangdong Province is a large-scale cross-basin water diversion project established by the Chinese government and people with the personal approval of Premier Zhou Enlai in order to solve the difficulties of fresh water supply in Hong Kong. The first phase of the project commenced in February 1964 and was completed in March 1965 to supply water to Hong Kong, with an annual water supply capacity of 68 million cubic metres. With the social and economic development, in order to meet the water demand of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Dongguan and other places, the project has been expanded three times. The first phase of expansion was carried out from March 1974 to September 1978 with an annual water supply capacity of 288 million cubic meters, the second phase was expanded from October 1981 to October 1987 with an annual water supply capacity of 863 million cubic meters, and the third phase was expanded from September 1990 to January 1994 with an annual water supply capacity of 1,743 million cubic meters.
In order to fundamentally solve the problem of water supply quality and enhance water supply capacity, with the approval of the State Development Planning Commission, the Guangdong Provincial Government carried out a complete transformation of the Dongshen Water Supply Project in 2000. The total investment of the project is 4.7 billion yuan, and the water supply scale after the transformation in 2003 reached 2.423 billion cubic meters per year. The operation of the Dongshen water supply renovation project has changed the water supply mode of Dongshen from natural rivers and artificial channels to closed pipeline water transportation, so as to realize sewage cleaning and diversion, and the water quality of Dongshen water supply has been fundamentally improved and better than the national level II water source standard.
From March 1, 1965 to the end of 2016, the Dongshen Water Supply Project has supplied a total of 49.5 billion cubic meters of water, making significant contributions to ensuring the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and the economic development of Shenzhen and Dongguan.
In order to adapt to the operation under the new situation, the company's board of directors and management team unite and cooperate, innovate, and lead all employees to change their concepts, forge ahead, overcome difficulties, and the work of the company has embarked on a benign track of rapid development.
