Despite calls to use 10% less water, the Honolulu Board of Water Supply says it hasn’t seen a significant drop in usage.

Locals are asking state regulators to do more to protect the supply of water for future generations.

Residents praised a decision last week by the state water board, but say much work remains to be done to restore ecosystems.

Families who rely on a Maui stream as their only source of running water found their supply suddenly dry.

In a last-ditch effort, some farmers and wildlife enthusiasts are trying to raise funds to save this relic of the plantation era.

La Nina is supposed to bring copious rain to Hawaii, but not so far this year, with implications for ranchers and water customers.

If the water system can’t take on new users, it would be “catastrophic,” a construction industry lobbyist said.
