March 2021 Flood

Below are a series of interactive images of the brown water in the wetland and in Kaelepulu Pond (Enchanted Lake). You can click-and-drag to navigate, and use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom. There are also navigation buttons at the bottom of each photo, and the one all the way at the right will show the image full-screen.

This is the wetland with a water level of 3.32′ MLLW

And this is low water, 1.34′ MLLW. Parts of what used to be navigable water are now dry.

Here you see one of the sources of brown water in the wetland and in the lake, residential home development at Olomana Heights. There is a lot of exposed red dirt, without adequate BMPs, that erode into the wetland and lake, before eventually going into Kailua Bay.
