The article, Water supply and sanitation in Hong Kong, lists and describes the challenges in providing clean water, methods of sanitation throughout the history, and water consumption and infrastructure of Hong Kong and its citizens. Since the goal of SDG6 is to “ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all,” Hong Kong, despite being one of the more developed parts of the world, is one of the places that still need to establish services where people can obtain clean water and basic sanitation. If these services are successfully built in Hong Kong, the methods that were used to create them can be applied to other cities around the world. This article has been categorized as a C-class article, which is a good article to edit because there are certain parts in the article that need improvement, while a solid basis has already been established on the topic. More sections can be better elaborated, such as for the sea-water flushing toilet, a diagram or description or external link that better illustrates the toilet could be more helpful. Some information, such as new statistics on water consumption and water investment has to be updated (the water consumption statistic only shows statistics up until the year 2009). Not only does the content require an update, but the Lead also needs work to ensure that it accurately represents everything that is expressed in the article. The Lead is currently very weak and does not mention everything of importance well enough, as well as has information irrelevant to the rest of the source. It would be very useful to update/improve the article because people who want to look up this specific article would be better informed on the topic, and having a strong source of information from which people can learn from will make it easier to inform people of the current issues that are taking place. The recent events that are happening in Hong Kong are also another reason to edit this article based on the current social and political state of Hong Kong, as the issue of water supply and sanitation is affected but the events are not causing any controversy within the topic.
