The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1905-12-25

LIHUE, Kauai, Dec. 23.-While the
Honolulu press has been devoting col
umns to the description of immense
projects for the development of water,
the building of aqueducts, and stor-
age reservoirs which have been, ana
Gus sugar plantations, for irrigating
purposes, an important work in this
line has been going on, in the Island
of Kauai, to which the attention of
the general public has never been
called
Manager McLane, of Koloa planta-
tion, has conceived and is construct
ing system for the storage of freshet
water for his company at Koloa, which
will probably eclipse in capacity any
thing OF its kind in Hawaii, excepting
only the Wahiawa dam on the Island
of Oahu.
The records in the office of the
company, covering period of sixteen
years, show an annual rainfall on the
plantation of 80 inches, and the forma-
tion of the land in the neighborhood
is sucl that koloa has become famous
for its freshets, many of which in the
past have wrought serious damage and
endangered life. In spite CT the heavy
rainfall, the water supplied by the
bitches has been insufficient for plan
tation needs, and some years ago
pumping plant of the Re1dler type was
installed, having pumping capacity
of FIVE million gallons daily.
At the back of the plantation, at an
elevation of two hundred feet above
sea level, is a natural basin shut in
on three sides by a chain of hills, and
over four hundred acres,
