#Ukumehame Stream

A County of Maui stream protection project will begin Friday, May 24, in Ukumehame, where two concrete Jersey barriers will be installed to prevent vehicles from entering the waterway.

Essentially interim instream flow standards reduce the use of water for non-instream uses, particularly under low-flow conditions. “We really seek to prioritize public trust uses over non-public trust uses and IIFS are one tool that helps us do that,” state hydrologists said.
