Description: My dad surprised me in July when he complained about a water shortage on Maui. I thought, "A water shortage in this lush and green state!? How can that be?" and I'm sure others suffer the same confusion. But once again, it's an issue of how to best utilize resources and often it's money talking, not science, culture, nor tradition.
When I heard Crossing East would send me to Hawaii in November to conduct interviews, I tried to maximize the trip and pitched this water story to two outlets.
Justin at NRP helped a great deal with their version and it's the lead story. The Pactime version was held up because of a different water issue that took precedent: the Indonesian tsunami!
