Yuen Long Bypass Floodway
Yuen Long Bypass Floodway is constructed to mitigate flooding in Yuen Long Town and its peripheral village areas. It is a 3.8 km long large drainage channel built at the South of Yuen Long Town to intercept 40% of the runoff in the Yuen Long catchment. The intercepted flow is diverted to the downstream of Kam Tin River and then discharged to Deep Bay.
