Welcome to the new home of the

Ala Wai Watershed Association

ABOUT US

The Ala Wai Watershed Association (AWWA) is a nonprofit, community-based organization dedicated to caring for the watershed that flows into the Ala Wai Canal and the near shore waters of Waikiki and Ala Moana.

Seven Sub Watersheds

AWWA is made up of seven sub watershed communities including:
1 - Makiki-Tantalus-Papakolea
2 - Ala Moana-Kaka'ako-McCully
3 - Waikiki
4 - Kaimuki-Kapahulu-Diamond Head
5 - Palolo
6 - Moi'ili'ili-St. Louis Heights
7 - Manoa

Our Mission

To improve water quality and foster awareness of ahupua`a concepts through community-based stewardship of the Ala Wai watershed.

Our Goals
  • Improve water quality by initiating a series of pilot projects that can be grown and expanded to improve overall water quality.
  • Develop long-term stewardship and awareness of polluting activities to revitalize watershed areas.
  • Use ahupua`a concepts, knowing that what happens in one area affects the next downstream, to bring about watershed-wide cooperation in making the Ala Wai Canal again safe for recreation, fishing and for protecting the near shore waters from pollutants.
  • Establish AWWA as a credible clearinghouse for information and community development resources, to bring together the communities, governmental agencies, and businesses to improve the Ala Wai Watershed.
