PBS Insights



Rep. Garrett appeared as part of a panel on Insights on PBS Hawaii to discuss latest developments with the Ala Wai Flood Control Project being led by the US Army Corps of Engineers.

While we wait for the draft report to be issued later this summer that will explain how a network of flood walls may protect us in a 25- or 50-year storm, we must not lose sight of the importance of restoring the overall health of the Ala Wai Watershed as part of the solution.

To learn more about this project and stay informed on upcoming meetings, please visit www.Honolulu.gov/alawai. The full airing of the show can also be found through the following link.
