About the project
_To tie in with the celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the establishment of the HKSAR, the Water Supplies Department (WSD) collaborates with the Hong Kong Arts Centre in organising a mural project.
The mural “Water Save Dream”, which is now on display at the fencing wall of WSD Hong Kong and Islands Regional Office, was designed by artists Sim Chan and Stanley Siu. The artwork, blending traditional landscape painting style with modern elements, portrays the impounding reservoirs and other landmark waterworks installations in Hong Kong, which signifies the WSD’s contribution to the city.
