[1] The top of the main dam is part of Keung Shan Road which connects Tai O with Cheung Sha, Mui Wo and Tung Chung.

Below the dam is Shek Pik Prison managed by the Hong Kong Correctional Services.

A major water source for Shek Pik Reservoir is Tung Chung River.

The water, collected by tunnels, is transferred to the reservoir via an underground pipe running between Ngong Ping and Lantau Peak.

To relieve the problem the Hong Kong Government decided to build a reservoir in Shek Pik Heung valley (石壁鄉) and to further develop Lantau Island.
