"In English, #NaWaiEha means 'the Four Waters.' It refers to the four streams and rivers that flow out of the West Maui Mountains to Central Maui. #Hawaii|ans used the abundant resource to cultivate taro farms and farm fishponds for subsistence living, but that changed following #colonization and the sugar plantation industry. Today, much of the #water is diverted, and Central #Maui residents continue to dispute its allocations."
