Stepping into 2020, Hong Kongers’ materially rich life has been turned upside down. To prevent the virus outbreak, everyone is trapped at home. The only activity that gathers people is lining up to buy masks. This scene is a deja vu of what happened 40-50 years ago, when Hong Kong people spent half a day waiting in the streets just for a bucket of water every day during the drought, and every day there were people engaged fighting and robbing for their water supply. Today, the average daily water consumption of Hongkongers reaches 130 litres (global average: 110 litres). It is as if we have forgotten the times when there was no tap water, and we had to struggle with 20 litres of water every day.
Thanks to the donation from The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, The Conservancy Association Centre for Heritage (CACHe) was able to launch ‘The Hong Kong Jockey Club Community Project Grant – Jockey Club Cultural Heritage Community Integration Scheme’ and curate ‘Water Exhibition’ to track where Hong Kong’s water comes from, revisiting the history of river water, well water and running water, in which we can contemplate how Hong Kongers can take hold of this source of life, in the midst of the global battle for resources.

踏入2020年初，習慣豐盛生活的我們，過着翻天覆地的日子。無事不出門，人群出現之處均是口罩、消毒用品與日用品搶奪之戰場。我們可曾記起，不遠的四、五十年前，香港人曾為了一桶水，每日花上半天在街上輪候，甚至因此打鬥、搶劫？今天的香港，每日人均食水使用量達至130公升（全球平均數為110公升），彷彿已忘記在未有自來食水的年代，曾經每日苦苦在二十公升水中浮沉掙扎。
由香港賽馬會慈善信託基金捐助，長春社文化古蹟資源中心（CACHe）今年展開「香港賽馬會社區資助計劃─世代共融社區文化遺產計劃」，策劃《水展》。透過展覽，CACHe團隊將大家由口罩人龍帶回輪水人龍，回溯香港的水到底從何而來，訴說河水、井水、自來水的前世今生；與大家一起準備面對全球資源爭奪戰，思考香港人該如何捉緊生命之源。
