It’s Called “Hamakua Springs”

Lately we’ve been thinking about cleaning out the sugarcane to see what that mysterious spring under the vegetation looks like. Is there a series of ponds under there? Could someone grow kalo there? What was it in the old days?

There’s water underneath this tangle of cane, running through a culvert under the road. It’s coming from a spring a short distance away.

A road runs in front of those trees In the foreground. That road bends around and joins up to the road that I am driving on.  There is no evidence of running water anywhere; just at that one place. That is why we know there is a spring in the tall cane.

The electricity from our hydro project will run right in front of the spring. Could we grow fish, or prawns, or something else?

Could we work with a non-profit that might want to do subsistence farming methods?

Where do we even start looking?

Curiosity is getting the better of us.
