The AMO write:

Lower Shing Mun Reservoir (下城門水塘) was built between 1961 and

1965 as part of Stage I of the Plover Cove Water Scheme and built to back up

the Shing Mun (Jubilee) Reservoir 城門(銀禧)水塘. It was built on the site of

an old wolfram (鎢) mine opened by a European company at various points in

the slope of Needle Hill. The Reservoir was built for storing the overflow from

Shing Mun (Jubilee) Reservoir and is connected to the Kowloon Group of

Reservoirs and the Sha Tin Treatment Works (沙田濾水廠).
