Irrigation systems are the vital lifeline for agricultural operations. Usually, it’s easy to trace a continuous cycle of water on small islands. A patter of small islands’ water cycle varies according to geology, landforms, soils, and rainfall in a different place.
In Hawaii, its water resources are diverse with continuous streams, rain forests, cactus forests, and underground tunnels. Hawaii manages five irrigation systems: two on Oafu, two on Hawaii island, and one on Molokai.
