Imagine a Day Without Water, on October 21 is a day to pause and reflect on the value of water in our daily lives.  DLNR is partnering with the Honolulu Board of Water Supply for this nationwide awareness event.  Today’s activities include a live and interactive event called “One Water Forum,” with state and county leaders discussing the importance of water and the need to invest in water infrastructure. There will also be an Instagram contest with prizes for correctly answered water-related questions.

Across Hawai‘i, some families still lack access to reliable and safe drinking water.  In addition, many of the water and wastewater infrastructure in Hawai‘i is aging and needs repairs or replacing. Climate change impacts, like sea-level rise and the increased threat of wildfires, put additional strains on these vital systems. Without adequate investment, water, wastewater, and stormwater management systems will continue to deteriorate, leading to serious consequences for people’s health, the environment, and the economy.

To imagine a day without water is to reflect on the importance of our natural water infrastructure, which is a key component of the hydrologic cycle. Thriving native forests ensure that groundwater aquifers are replenished, and streams continue to flow to the ocean. This allows for the practice of traditional and customary rights, thriving stream life, and productive nearshore waters.
