Ala Wai Watershed Hybrid Hack: When the Big Storm Comes (and it will)

As part of the U.S.-hosted, IUCN World Conservation Campus, partners organized and hosted two "hybrid hacks" on September 02 and 03, 2016.  Using collaborative group processes, based on proven “hackathon” methodologies, international and local participants developed a series of solution prototypes to address stresses and shocks within the Ala Wai Watershed posed by rainfall and coastal flooding; pollution from rainfall runoff and human activity; sea-level rise and coastal erosion; storm surge, high surf, hurricanes, and tsunami; and, aging infrastructure and infrastructure failure.  These prototypes can be viewed at the Hawai'i Green Growth Facebook album,  "Ala Wai and Waikīkī Solutions" and below.

The sessions were organized by the University of Hawai'i and its Sea Grant College Program, Hawai‘i Green Growth, the Ala Wai Watershed Partnership, IUCN and the Global Island Partnership.
