A manmade canal on the northern boundary of the tourist district of Waikiki, the Ala Wai Canal provides drainage to swamps, rivers, and streams in central and East Honolulu.
Key Points:
- A manmade canal on the northern boundary of the tourist district of Waikiki, the Ala Wai Canal provides drainage to swamps, rivers, and streams in central and East Honolulu.
- The Genki Ala Wai Project will use Genki balls, softball-sized mud balls made from clay soil, rice bran, molasses, water, and Effective Microorganisms (EM) solution.
- The Genki balls are tossed into the Ala Wai canal and sink to the bottom to digest the sludge.
- We are proud to support the Genki Ala Wai Project and The Eco Rotary Club of Kakaako, in these events aimed at restoring the health of the Ala Wai Canal, said Daniel Shiu , Financial Advisor at UBS in Hawaii.
