Forested Country Parks overlapping the Water Gathering Grounds store carbon, but no carbon-stock or sequestration data specific to the catchment programme were found.
Biodiversity — conservation / improvement, evidenced1/3
16 of 17 reservoirs and their gathering grounds sit inside legally protected Country Parks, providing likely biodiversity co-benefits, though no species or monitoring data specific to the catchments were located.
Water & soil — retention, infiltration, erosion control3/3
About 30,000 ha (roughly one-third of Hong Kong's land area) is gazetted Water Gathering Ground supplying about 19% of demand in 2022, a quantified, ongoing reduction in reliance on costlier imported Dongjiang water.

No fire-related outcomes or activities are documented for the programme.
Governance, certification & transferability3/3
Dual legal protection under the Waterworks Ordinance and the Country Parks Ordinance has been enforced by the Water Supplies Department for decades, with explicit restrictions on entry, bathing and pollution in gathering grounds.
