Since 2009, the Water Supplies Department (WSD) invited all primary schools to join the "Water Conservation Ambassador Selection Scheme". Through analysing the domestic fresh water consumption data submitted by the participating students, such as the number of household members and fresh water consumption amount, WSD would appoint students who showed good performance as Water Conservation Ambassadors.
