Chapter 14:Hazard Analysis—Droughts <br /> 14.5.2 Future Plans <br /> Drought Mitigation Goals: <br /> • Expand current network of rain gages to improve rainfall monitoring. <br /> • Develop a framework to coordinate drought response between agencies. <br /> • Enhance current monitoring of ground- and surface-water levels. <br /> • Establish alert procedures for declining water level conditions. <br /> • Establish conservation programs to reduce water consumption. <br /> • Establish contingency water-hauling programs for livestock. <br /> • Seek authorization and funding for development of new water supply sources. <br /> • Identify areas at risk to drought and plan for regional response actions and strategies. <br /> • Develop additional storage and/or alternative sources of water supply. <br /> • Develop and implement drought-related public awareness programs. <br /> • Develop incentive programs for drought resistant practices. <br /> Project Description Status <br /> Drought/Wildland Fire Mitigation Plan County of Hawaii Unfunded <br /> Drought Mitigation <br /> Strategy 2004 <br /> Update Drought Monitor website; Maintenance Ongoing <br /> Update of Hawaii Rainfall Atlas:University <br /> of Hawaii,March 2012. <br /> Improvements to old plantation irrigation $30M Received partial FEMA <br /> system tunnels and ditches:Lower Hamakua funding <br /> Ditch System <br /> Renovations/improvements to old plantation $3M Proposed Project <br /> irrigation system tunnels and ditches:Kau <br /> Sugar System Reactivation <br /> Improvements to old plantation irrigation $26M Proposed Project <br /> system tunnels and ditches and new Kauahi <br /> reservoir:Waimea <br /> Improvements to the Kohala Ditch Irrigation Proposed Project: Post-earthquake repair <br /> Aqueduct Improvements to old plantation Ditch lining and/or closed completed <br /> irrigation transmission system. piping work still needs to <br /> L be done <br /> i Renovate and Reactivate old abandoned $2.5M Proposed Project <br /> plantation wells in Pahala <br /> Renovate and Reativate old Hamakua $100,000 Proposed Project <br /> Slaughterhouse well for non-potable <br /> agricultural use in Honokaa/Hamakua <br /> Construct new wells,surface water Investigation <br /> diversions,storage and transmission lines in <br /> priority areas <br /> Irrigating wisely: Promote better irrigation $100,000 Proposed Project <br /> practices and water management. <br /> Agricultural Water System for Kona, $25M in planning <br /> Honomalino: Provide a reliable source of <br /> water for agriculture and fire fighting <br /> assistance. <br /> Evaluate vulnerability ofCounty water $1M Completed <br /> si,stems and water trucking ca aci <br /> 14-11 Hawaii County Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan <br />
