大潭水塘系統包括大潭上水塘、大潭副水塘、大潭中水塘及大潭篤水塘。大潭上水塘位於港島東大潭郊野公園內。大潭水塘興建計劃早於1872年開始構思,又於1874年,因當時經濟不景氣影響而擱置。其後於1882年繼續興建,最後於1888年完成。一如既往,這項計劃所提供的食水亦不敷所需,所以於1912年展開了大潭篤水壩工程。現時四個水塘儲水量共830萬立方米。水塘附近有畢拿山、渣甸山、紫羅蘭山及柏架山,環境清幽,山明水秀。Known as the Tai Tam Group, Tai Tam Reservoir comprises Tai Tam Upper Reservoir, Tai Tam Byewash Reservoir, Tai Tam Intermediate Reservoir and Tai Tam Tuk Reservoir. The Tai Tam Upper Reservoirs are located in the Tai Tam Country Park in Hong Kong East. The Tai Tam Scheme was started early in 1872 and was shelved 1874 because of depression of economy. The scheme was continued later in 1882 and virtually completed in 1888. Yet again, the supply was proved insufficient and the building of the Tai Tam Tuk dam began in 1912. The four reservoirs have a total storage capacity of 8.3 million cubic metres. The reservoirs are surrounded by Mount Butler, Jardine’s Lookout, Violet Hill and Mount Parker, with an extraordinary environment of peace and quiet.
