You will not from the above that great by expenditures
for permanent improvements have been in developing Transporting
and irrigation As the life of the plantation depends upon
supply and as the cost Of operating the plantation largely ncrea
ed or decreased by the methods used distributing the the
fields for irrigation the following information regard
deyeoPment at Waaua Eoud be OF material interest to you
PUMPS-Ihee are rs Compound and Triple Expansion Pumps i'll
hive pumping stations at the mill with pumping capa
run said pumps ut full capacity if necessary
Also three Gasoline Engine Pumping Stations Capacity 100000
RESERVOIS-There are twelve small reservoirs with total
capacity OF about 6OOOOOOo gallons all situated part
TIE plantation below the 6oooot level used for the purpose
lmg from the smaller dtches and from the pumping stations
might There larger capacity
2oooooooo gallons which are supplied with water from three guches
namely Opaeula Kawa Wame These gluches depend
water upon the rainfall in the mountains show
rainfall the heads of the first two guche mentioned from
rainfall OF I5T.46 inches, at the head of Kawaiiki
large dam fast nearing completion Waialua which will hold
distance There large steader flow of water
here than from any other the island Oahu draining
large watershed of several thousand of the summit and slopes
Iol the Kooau mountains
The dam have capacity Of 25oooooooo gallons There are
other streams OF fresh water coming from two other guches
tanning larger streams and draining larger watersheds than the Opae
ana Waea streams winch up to the present time have been pc-
ideally untouched 1t is intended to make this
With the water development above outlined coming from the
guhes and conserved by the dam and reservoirs be-
eed that about $1,000 acres OF land all below the 7oooot level
irrigated by these mountain streams the greater
land possible that when the have been further developed
lcNperienCe will show that the prOaby
above the 7oooot level thereby producing large crops upper
Above the 9oooot level estimated that thou
sand acres of good land be cultivated with large part
which land is comparatively level with good depth quality
rainfall these lands
um shown by records which about the rainfall
dnay found in Hamakua Hawaii Kau Hawaii
Hawaii And probable that from these upper non-gated
the cane will yield from three to four of per
RECAPlIULAllONIhe expended this devel
Icpmen to be wise expenditure for best
tests OF the plantation and all connected with whether
Tor bondholders.
The result is that Waaua Plantation going
LOT land under cultivation all of which will irrigated
mountain water brought the plantation by gravity during great
Ter of the making possible that pumps the
sa expense of pumping will only be called occasionally
addition there will be about non-gated plant
ed with good soil and sufficient rainfall
atve estimate OF from three to four tons of the from
these nOn-irrigated lands.
Assuming that the below the 7oooot level will pro-
duce tons to the which about the
and assuming that the 6ooo Of nongated pro-
due the this would indicate that Waaua produce
about per annum possibly still further
panson, in area and crop, in the future
