What Works, What Doesn’t, and Why?" presentation by Simeon Ehui, The World Bank. Presented on 18 April 2013.
Access to clean, sustainable supplies of water is essential for the operation and growth of Canada’s major natural resource sectors — energy, mining, forest, and agriculture. The health of our ecosystems is also dependent upon those same clean, sustainable water supplies, creating the potential for competing uses. Canada’s apparent water abundance masks a looming scarcity challenge for our important natural resource sectors and for certain regions of our country.
Changing Currents is the result of over a year of research and engagement involving some of the country’s leading experts on water management and policy, and collaboration with key industry representatives and associations.

Dear Readers,
The 22nd issue of Dnote Xpress is out!
The May issue highlights the urgent necessity to conserve our water resources to combat the adverse effects of climate change.
As the country is facing severe water crisis due to successive years of drought, it has become important for us to focus on creating rain water harvesting structures in drought ridden areas that will ensure availability of surface water for drinking and agricultural purposes.
The issue explains the drought situation and suggests recommendations which can be implemented.

Excuses kill solutions and dilute passion. Kill excuses before it kills you. Focus is key!

Audit success comes from service, not from status. The true standards of audit practice are found within the auditor's character: honesty, integrity, self control and high ethical values. The printed standards are merely guidelines for trying to make the art of auditing into a profession. - Michael L. Piazza
Auditors must develop a reputation that proclaims that they know what they are doing... that their reviews are factual and unbiased... that they deserve to be respected... that they are professionals with professional qualifications. A fundamental key to audit success is the reputation for objectivity. That implies independence from activities reviewed. Complete independence is an unattainable goal while practical independence is not only possible but absolutely essential. - Larry Sawyer

The Law is a mighty machine.

It's no secret that the healthcare system needs some work. In fact, it's not really a system at all. It's confusing, it's difficult to navigate, and it's too expensive. When you combine that with some of the demographic trends that you see in our country — the population is getting older, we're experiencing more chronic disease — it gets even more complicated and more expensive. And consumer expectations are changing dramatically as well. So, this creates an opportunity for an organization like ours to lead this digital transformation.

When a man becomes a fireman his greatest act of bravery has been accomplished. What he does after that is all in the line of work.
I have no ambition in this world but one, and that is to be a fireman. The position may, in the eyes of some, appear to be a lowly one; but we who know the work which the fireman has to do believe that his is a noble calling. Our proudest moment is to save lives. Under the impulse of such thoughts, the nobility of the occupation thrills us and stimulates us to deeds of daring, even of supreme sacrifice.

Maui - Sustainability and Viability - House Bill 2501 - Sign into law -Message to Governor David Y Ige
1. MAUI
Sustainable Diversified Agriculture
Economic Value of Water
Collaboration of All Stakeholders
The business decision by Alexander & Baldwin to end sugar cultivation and
its plan to transition to diversified agriculture has polarized the community.
Material, relevant and of immediacy is HB2501 HD2 SD2 CD1 RELATING TO
WATER RIGHTS.
Cogent arguments for and against this legislation have been raised.
I have opposed granting Alexander & Baldwin holdover extensions pending
disposition of its water right permits. The deadline for decision is July 12, 2016.
Governor David Y. Ige is to decide whether to sign into law, veto or allow passage
into law without signature HB2501 HD2 SD2 CD1.
Instructive is an excerpt from a comprehensive report prepared by the
University of Texas for the Ulupono Initiative,
[T]here is a significant opportunity to meet multiple
sustainability goals using the same or a lesser quantity of
water for large-scale farming of biofuel crops in Central Maui.
These multiple goals include more local food, increased
renewable energy, and sustainable groundwater usage. Maui
can create triple the economic value is gets from each gallon
of water used in agriculture, while consuming one third less
water than Central Maui uses today.
A Call to Action
The study points to some immediate actions that would help
all the stakeholders in Maui make more informed decisions
regarding their water use, and potentially avoid future
conflicts over water. The critical needs for scientific and
commercial research are:
• Watershed management and restoration to understand costs
and hydrological impact
2. • Aquifer characterization, particularly for the major aquifers
affected by ground water pumping and possible
• Pre-commercial bioenergy crop trials on cassava at the scale
needed to affirmatively determine yield and harvest
requirements
• Integration analysis of use of curtailed wind energy for water
pumping in agriculture and municipal systems
Finally, acting on systems recommendations takes
cooperation across all stakeholders. This study could not
have been accomplished without building on the decades of
work done by others, and the cooperation and support of
many of today’s stakeholders from the business, academic,
government and non-profit communities. The success of
the next round of scientific and commercial research will
be directly proportional to the degree of collaboration
among the parties.

The communities, stakeholders, the State of Hawaii, the County of Maui and
the Hawaii Congressional delegation have come together and continue to find
alternatives to bridge the void left by the end of sugar.
3. A most recent example of action and the commitment to provide “frequent,
reliable, affordable and universal service” for interisland shipments by Young
Brothers, LTD. is but one signal and indictor of positive change,
Farming isn’t the answer to Maui’s sugar problem, economist says
Oahu stands apart where farming has worked. However, the
island has specific dynamics that lead to this success, which
the other islands, including Maui cannot replicate. Oahu has a
consumer market large enough to support the farming
industry; a global market for intellectual property, like corn
seed; and corporate sponsors which will invest in developing
new exportable. Neighbor Island producers can only scale up
if they serve the Oahu market or export overseas. However,
even if they do find an Oahu market, the interisland transport
is burdensome and is generally not worth it.

At stake is the very core and fabric of Maui’s economy and sustainability.
Attention has and continues at all levels of government, community and
business organizations and the communities across the State of Hawaii.
The technicalities and legalities of HB2501 HD2 SD2 CD1 can be debated
and analyzed until the moment for decision and action has long passed.

5. Cogent, compelling, material and relevant is a statement from Meg
Whitman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Hewlett Packard Enterprise,
Chairwoman, HP Inc. during her tenure as CEO of eBay,
“[T]here’s only so much analysis you can do. It’s better to put
something out there and see the reaction and fix it on the fly.
You could spend six months getting it perfect in the lab…[but]
we’re better off spending six days putting it out there, getting
feedback, and then evolving it.”
A Call to Action
Let us build on the decades of work done and contributions made
by Alexander & Baldwin, Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company and
East Maui Irrigation, the cooperation and support of many stakeholders
from business, academia, government and our communities.
The successful transition from sugar, Maui’s sustainability and
economic fabric is directly proportional to the degree of collaboration
we allow to take place. Let the process started in earnest continue!
The time is now!
