News on the East Maui stream flow study
"Effects of Surface-Water Diversions on Habitat Availability for Native
Macrofauna, northeast Maui, Hawaii" e.g. oopu, opae and
hihiwai.
A state aquatics biologist, Skippy Hau, who has been studying the health of stream fauna around Maui, advocates restoring as much water as possible to the streams to allow the native species to recover. The study, however, "is not intended to deal with other issues, including the amount of water needed for taro growers." This is interesting though: "With streams that were diverted by taro growers, there is an increase in water temperature, but the study found 'no temperatures appeared high enough to reach known limits for native fish.'" Again, I've personally seen numerous entire streams completely disappear into tunnels through the mountainside, and pipes capturing the smallest trickle. I had heard about it, but It really hit me when I saw it myself. And despite HC&S general manager Steve Holaday's high sounding "stewards of the land for many generations" rhetoric, the experience of Ke'anae and Wailuanui taro farmers has been that HC&S will do everything they can possibly do to delay releasing one drop of extra water back into the streams. Hopefully this study will help put the pressure on. It's worth reading the whole thing. (Previous article.) Posted: Mon - February 6, 2006 at 07:44 PM |
