Singapore have being doing this for decades and desalination meets around 10% of their water needs
The capacity of the resevoirs in hk is a bit less than 500 million cubic metres, while the water usage at that time is around 700 (now 900), so if there is no reduction in consumption or rationing it is around 9 months.
But something could be done.
The economy crashes overnight, 5 million and a half of Hong Kong citizens suddenly find themselves in a warzone. Mass panic ensues, protests, riots, looting occur across the city, suddenly thousands of refugees begin to jump onto every available plane/boat in sight, others find themselves streaming across the Chinese border.
Thats before the first shot is even fired.
Well fook. I don't think anyone's ever done something like this before, so you obviously have my attention. Subbed.
Think there was a "HK Civil War" scenario once, but yeah a Britain-China war was never done before.
Why were the British going to war with China again if they don't have the troops stationed for it?

Taiwan has absolutely no strategic stake in HK, nor does it have the capacity to sealift troops to HK.
The US navy won't be enough to stop the Chinese from literally walking into Hong Kong. Why would they do that anyways? This was the period of the Sino-American alliance against the "Evil Soviets". Why would the United States sacrifice a key strategic partner over what is a colonial war?

Unless the US Navy somehow acquired Assault Destroyers from Red Alert 3 I don't see how it's going to stop the Chinese from walking into Hong Kong
How in god's green earth are the British or the Americans going to dislodge the Chinese and retake Hong Kong after they lose it? Probabilty of success is one atom next to impossible.
I'm sure Hong Kong going down Stalingrad style will sit well with the public. The Hong Kong public won't want their city to become a burnt out husk, the UK buisness lobby won't want their investement become a burnt out husk, the "Free world" won't stand by Britain fighting a colonial war, the other half is communist and will milk this to kingdom come. No one will support a war except for the Chinese who are fighting "a war of liberation to reunify the motherland". This is no Falkland where the population is a grand total of 78 people and 140 sheep and the PLA sure isn't a Junta's conscript army.
