About the Event
The East Maui Watershed, approximately 120,000 acres, provides the largest source of surface water in the state. It is essential that we play a role in the management and use of these water resources to ensure that our community benefits and issues such as ensuring water availability for Upcountry residents, farmers and ranchers; food security; and climate resilience are addressed. The East Maui Water Authority and Public Finance Initiative will engage Upcountry residents, people on the water meter list, farmers, policymakers and anyone concerned about water in a deep diving discussion about water resource management and how it can support Upcountry residents.
The meeting will include:
Update on the East Maui Water Authority and ‘Aha Wai O Maui Hikina
Explanation of how watershed and water resource management can and should address: equitable access for local communities, climate change and resilience; water availability for food security and farming.
Primer on funding options for water system improvements.
