Owing to its coastal locality

The city areas can expand in size by reclamation

The reclamation work involves dumping great deal of sand into the sea and dredging mud from the sea
floor
This increase turbidity of water and induces water pollution
Marine organisms will be killed food chain will be disrupted
Ecosystem balance will be upset

Second reclamation reduces the size of Victoria harbour

The leads to big wave and less space for ship navigation
As a result ,there may be more sea traffic accidents

Due to the lack of labour

Use large- scale labour saving machine to do farm work
These machines are efficient and effective
Desides, the extensive farming is practiced in aus and the farms are very large
As a result, the output of the farms are very large \
The local consumption is ssmall
A large proportion of useful outputs are exported to earn more profits

Mixed farming cam maximize labour use by minimizing the slack period
Harvest of crops is done in November while shearing of wool is major work in summer
So there is no slack period throughout the year

The soil is infertile & poor due to wind erosion and rain
Thus, farmer apply chemical fertilizers into the soil, practiced crop rotation and mixed farming to rasion
soil fertility, and apply lime to neutralize
Also, farmers grow trees around the field as windbreaks to reduce soil erosion

Framer expect resumption

they abandoned farmland to await speculation

the rainfall in basin is low and

which may lead to drought problems
thus farmers build artesian wells to get underground water and launch large-scale irrigation scheme
such as snowy mountain scheme to obtain more water for irrigation
besides , farmers grow drought resistant wheat & water storage tanks to solve the problem of water
shortage
the first harmful output is soil exhaustion and soil
different crop required different kind of nutrient
thus ,if framer grow
certain kind of soil fertility may be used up
over-cultivation and over0grazing may also lead to soil exhaustion
after harvest , soil is exposed to wind and rain erosion as well as leaching
this accelerates the loss of soil fertility
the second harmful output is pollution
farmers tend to use chemical fertilizers to raise soil fertility and productivity
however these chem may be washed away by the rain to the nearby rivers
this leads to water pollution

third, there is a loss of moisture in soil

the soil moisture may be drawn up by crops and may be evaporated after harvest when the land is
barren

besides , the growth of weed is another harmful eddect of farming

they complete for nutrients with crop, causing them to wilt

framers should use fertilizer rather chemical fertilizer

for instances, manure of sheep can be used as natural fertilizer

the prevent the loss of soil moisture

farming can practice dry farming during fallowing
this means farmers plough the land from time to time so as to reduce the evaporation of water through
capillary action

the prevent the loss of soil nutrients, framers can practice fallowing to let the soil recover its fertility
besides crop rotation and mixed farming can be practiced
windbreaks can be grown around the fields to prevent soil erosion
the region can serve as new tourist spot and it can attract more tourist to come to hk
this can in turn promote the tourism industry, raise the gdp and stimulate the economic recovery of hk
1. In recent year many hk people set up their family or buy properties in Shenzhen
Other go to Shenzhen for shopping or entertainment as cost there is much lower than that of hk
Some many go to Shenzhen for business purpose due to the closer commercial link between china
and hk
As a result more and more people go to Shenzhen through lo wu checkpoint
This often leads to overcrowding at lu wo check point]
(especially, on public holiday and at the beginning and at the end of long holidays
it is estimated that the volume of travelers will be greater than the capacity pf the checkpoint on
a few year.
Therefor a new rail line ling up between _____ & ______ kkis proposed to reduce the burden of lo
wu checkpoint by distributing some travelers to the lok ma chau checkpont
This can also reduce the time needed for going through the checkpoint

2. the new railway can improve transportation of the northern district

which can indirectly boost economy as more service will be provided
this suits government strategy to turn the north into urban area

it accommodates a large number of species of bird some of which are endanger and rare species
the construction and operation of the proposed railway will create a great deal of noise pollution and air
pollution which will frighten the birds
besides, the construction will destroy the habitat and reduce the food supply of the birds
as a result, bird will not come to the wetland and
some endanger species of birds will become extinct
this will upset the ecological balance of wetlands
the environment will be adversely affected.

Moreover, there can be alternative lines which do not pass through the wetland
Therefore the insistence of _______ is not necessary
Thus, as an environmentalist I will oppose the proposed rail line if I consider it from environmental
perspective

The area can serve as new tourist spot to attract more tourists to come to hk
This can in turn promote tourism industry , raise the GDP and stimulate economic recovery of hk

This development provide citizens with a new choice of recreation

Apart from traditional cultural centre and space museum
The large scale of cultural entainment

The accessibility in the areas along the route will increase

the areas will be developed
and land prices of these area will increase
this will benefit the resident who own the land and property
