Part B (Level 2) (20 marks) Water Crisis In Hong Kong, growing population and new industries are demanding for more water. Hong Kong may be running out of water shortly. A meeting is held to discuss this problem. If you are one of the members, how will you answer the following questions? Stage 1: Understand the water supply in Hong Kong 1 What are the sources of water supply in Hong Kong? (2 marks) 2 Give two activities that consume large amounts of water at home. (2 marks) 3 The 3Rs principle is a rule of conserving water. What does 3Rs mean? (3 marks) Stage 2: Give possible suggestions During the meeting, there are several suggestions.
