History.
In 1898, the British took over the New Territories and New Kowloon and the Public Works Department immediately sent engineering teams to explore water sources. However, the team found suitable valleys to build reservoirs in the west of Beacon Hill and south of Needle Hill. Construction for Kowloon Reservoir commenced in 1901 and it was completed in 1910, making it the first reservoir in the New Territories.
