History:

Tai Tam Water Supply System possessed a potential for development because of its geographical location and conditions. It is the main source of water supply in early 20th century. The Tai Tam Extension Project involved the construction of the Tai Tam Tuk Reservoir in phase two.

The WSD website says:

The Plover Cove Reservoir, located in the Pat Sin Leng and Plover Cove Country Park, is the second largest reservoir in Hong Kong. It is also the first 'reservoir in the sea' over the world.

The massive construction work of the reservoir is a project that had never been attempted anywhere in the world. Engineers dammed the inlet, pumped out the sea water and filled it with fresh water.

date of construction is approximate.
