THE IMPORTANCE OF WATERSHEDS

Native forests play a critical role to provide our statewide freshwater supply by actinglike a “sponge” and absorbing rainfall and cloud moisture. When a native forest isdamaged, so is its ability to capture water.

Fresh, clean water is an irreplaceable resource. It is fundamental to our well-being. Itfuels agriculture, tourism, and sustainable development. In turn, our water supplydepends on the health of our mauka native forests, which capture and absorb rain.With over half of the original forest lost, and the remainder threatened by explodingpopulations of invasive species, the forest now relies on us for its survival.

NA WAI EHA (THE FOUR STREAMS)

This area is “... comprised the four great valleys [Waihe`e, Waiehu, Wailuku, andWaikapu] which cut far back into the slopes of West Maui and drain the eastwardwatershed of Pu`u Kukui and the ridges radiating northeastward, eastward, andsoutheastward from it” (Handy and Handy 1972).

Two Chinese brothers, AHUNG and ATAI, of Honolulu's Hungtai Company arrivedin Wailuku in 1828 to explore the possibility of setting up one of its earliest sugarmills. ATAI soon created a plant that processed sugarcane cultivated by Hawaiians,named the Hungtai Sugar Works (Dorrance and Morgan 2000:15-16). AHUNG laterjoined Kamehameha III’s sugar producing enterprise, although by 1844 bothoperations had ceased. In 1862, The Wailuku Sugar Company was established andwould expand sugar production over the next 126 years of its existence (4,450 acres by1939), still more than three decades before its maximum production levels.

By the late 1800s, much of the `Iao Valley and its immediate surroundings wereplanted with sugar cane. Sugar cane fields extended along the borders of `Iao Valley,within the valley, and even occurred between the Haleki`i-Pihana Heiau site. Connolly(1974:5) notes that in the early 1900s, the sugar cane industry dominated commerceand land use in the `Iao Valley area; it created a fair amount of water irrigation ditches,terraces, free standing walls, historic house sites, and mill structures.

As it expanded its territory, the Wailuku Sugar Company first appeared on maps in thearea in the 1920s, although their acquisition of land south of the project area may havebeen as early as the turn of the century (Kennedy and Trimble 1992:4).

Wailuku Sugar Company ended production in 1988, having averaged over 30,000 tonsof sugar produced annually at its pinnacle in the 1970s (Dorrance and Morgan2000:66). Owner C. Brewer & Company, Ltd. shut down sugar cultivation on theproject area, which was then used almost entirely for pineapple cultivation starting nolater than 1992 (Kennedy and Trimble 1992:1).

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE FROM … SENATOR MIKE GABBARDFebruary 2016

https://www.capitol.hawaii.gov/MemberFiles/senate/gabbard/Newsletters/2016_February_Newsletter.pdf

JADAM Organic Farming: Low Cost Agriculture On January 22, I had the privilege ofmeeting the foundational `ohana of JADAM Natural Pesticide Institute, whichspecializes in Organic Farming. JADAM means “people that resemble nature.”JADAM is a global network of farmers sharing knowledge and connecting experiencein a continuously evolving system. The JADAM Organic Farming movement hassprung from the work of Cho Young-sang, who has developed an environmentally andfarmer-friendly philosophy. He launched the Jadam movement after founding theNatural Pesticide Research Center in Korea. JADAM educates others in therevolutionary method of farming based on oriental philosophy. When applied, thisphilosophy can cut farming costs to about $100/acre without using any petro-chemicalinputs. It uses a method of fully cultivating on-farm generated fertility; which is afarming technique to produce, recycle, and rejuvenate the soil and yield, in a self-sustaining fashion. Local farmers and agriculturalists from the Hawai`i Farmers UnionUnited collaborated with JADAM to share mana‘o or wisdom passed down fromgeneration to generation to shine light on Hawai‘i’s future in agriculture. I enjoyedseeing David Wong again, and also meeting Hyunho Cha, Deborah Mader, Sunhwa Ju,Rei Yoon, Youngsang Cho, ALIKA ATAI, Ken Ku`ike, and Brian Bartalini.
