The Happy Valley Underground Stormwater Storage Scheme (HVUSSS) is an important flood prevention project of the Drainage Services Department, aiming to relieve the flooding risks in the Happy Valley and Wai Chai areas.  In addition to the underground stormwater storage tank with a capacity to withstand a rainstorm of a return period of 1 in 50 years, the project includes above-ground ancillary facilities, such as a pump house and a fan room.  Located within the Happy Valley Recreation Ground and surrounded by sport pitches and greenery, these ancillary facilities have incorporated green elements to provide the public a “Green Living” environment, including the design of a greenery area above the pump house for public amenity and watching football games, and installation of solar panels at the rooftop of the fan room to generate renewal energy.  HVUSSS also incorporated the current largest water harvesting system in Hong Kong that collects groundwater, irrigation water and rainwater for toilet flushing and pitch irrigation purposes.
