Oahu’s Ala Wai Watershed Student Design Challenge

December 17, 2016

December: (Editor Kobayashi Note:  In case you missed it, the UH announced this competition for students at the Conservation Congress to deal with the continuing problems of the strategic Ala Wai Canal In Honolulu.  Here is the timetable for 2017, use the link to the challenge website and good luck!!)

The Ala Wai Watershed Student Design Challenge, was announced by the University of Hawai‘i at the U.S.-hosted 2016 IUCN World Conservation Congress. The Challenge looks to unlock student innovation and creativity to craft solutions that address critical urban watershed and island issues, specifically, restoring watershed ecologies and exploring culture’s contribution to sustainable development.

The University of Hawai’i seek ideas from the brightest minds of our youth and students to help advance the collective goals and action agenda of the Ala Wai Watershed Partnership (AWWP) (e.g., stream and ecosystem restoration, green stormwater infrastructure, water capture and reuse, sediment control, flood mitigation, contemporary urban ahupua’a, Ala Wai as a destination, education and engagement with community/youth, coalition of teams with local participation, etc.)
