Programme Highlights

Infrastructure projects such as Harbour Area Treatment Scheme (HATS), the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, the proposed incineration facility in Shek Kwu Chau or desalination plant need proper environmental impact assessment (EIA). It is also essential to assess the impact of emergency incidents such as damage of submarine sewage pipe or spill from the solid waste landfill site in Shenzhen and prepare for disaster mitigation.

This seminar will address the challenges of the EIA practices for the water environment in Hong Kong. The processes governing the fate and transport of the pollutants from the sources to the various sensitive receivers will be explained. The major components in Project WATERMAN's EIA system will be introduced. The development of the WATERMAN system based on robust modelling, advanced visualization and Internet-based graphics technologies will also be illustrated. Practical application examples, including the daily forecasting of water quality at the Tsuen Wan bathing beaches and real-time control of disinfection dosage, will be discussed.

Speaker

Prof. Joseph H. W. LEE, Principal Investigator of Project WATERMAN, HKU and Vice-President for Research & Graduate Studies, HKUST.
