Recordist's notes
Kowloon Reservoir is located in the Kam Shan Country Park and consists of Kowloon Reservoir, Kowloon Byewash Reservoir, and Kowloon Reception Reservoir. Buildings such as the main dam of the Kowloon Reservoir are declared monument in Hong Kong. The recording location was close to the working place. Although the recording did not start until lunch time, the vehicles and airplanes did not have to eat, they still worked hard. It is hard to have 5 minutes of usable recordings. 九龍水塘位於金山郊野公園內,由九龍水塘,九龍副水塘,九龍接收水塘所組成。九龍水塘的主壩等建築物為香港法定建築物。錄音位置接近廠房,雖巳待午膳時間才開始錄音,但車輛及飛機不必進食,仍然努力工作,好不容易選材五分鐘。
