Aloha,
KIUC is proposing a large West Kauai pump storage hydro project and separate new hydro power plant which they told the State will result in as much as 400 million gallons of our Kauai water being removed annually from our streams and ditches. Basically, Wai`ale`ale, Alakai swamp and the Kokee ditch system will be tapped big time leaving Waimea River, Hanapepe and other streams seriously compromised. The serious risk and threat to our natural stream flow imposed by the West Kauai proposal prompted the recent filing of a lawsuit by Earthjustice.
