Time-aged argument

Since the beginning of the 1960s and the development of hotels and influx of settlers, water has always been an issue with the community throughout the islands. Mau'i was no different as the farmers were concerned with the water usage and their water rights. People werre well aware of the future problems but their voices were ignored. Today we see the fruition of those prophetic warnings. Golf courses, swimming pools, hotels, and increase of population tapped into the waters of our farmers and eco-system. People used to be water-concious; now they waste it like there's no tomorrow. some water can be recycled and after all these decades, no one has developed or considered any solution until it actually blows up in their face. Good going! LOL...
