East Maui stream diversion protest; Maui's Water Wars video


Maui News reports that East Maui taro farmers plan to be out along the Hana Highway again this morning to protest East Maui stream diversions by East Maui Irrigation (a subsidiary of Alexander & Baldwin).

Written comments from the public on the East Maui streamflow petition will be accepted until June 10.

Drafts of the instream flow standard assessment reports can be found online at www.hawaii.gov/dlnr/cwrm/ or at the public libraries in Hana, Kahului and Wailuku.

Public comments can be sent to the Commission of Water Resource Management, state Department of Land and Natural Resources, P.O. Box 621, Honolulu 96809 or send e-mail to dlnr.cwrm@hawaii.gov.

And a new online documentary about the East Maui issue, produced from the protest on the day of the East Maui Taro Festival at the end of April, can be found on Hawaii Community Television Public Access titled “Water Wars.” It can be viewed at www.hemowai.tv or here's the direct link.
