Original air date: September 26, 2013.
New Access to fresh water in our island state unlocks the doors to development, farming and tourism. But who actually owns our water? Do some have the right to restrict water access from others?

Richardson School of Law; Ernest Lau, Chief Engineer Honolulu Board of Water Supply; William Tam, Deputy Director, Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources; and Ed Wendt, Maui taro farmer.

Lots of our water was illegally diverted, that's why lots of our rivers have dried up. Our taro patches decrease alot

Base what I'm hearing is restriction to taro growing and more toward development that bring growth to hawaii.Economy toward tourism and real estate and with taro which is more sustainable to hawaiian way of life. State is trustee for water and need to address this and share the water.
Due to climate change and decline of topical rain and with shortage of water.In long run less development in hawaii so it will be more sustainable for everyone who live and grow up in hawaii to have water and having agricultural should be stable way of life in hawaii still❤
