Hawaiis Oberstes Gericht tadelt staatliche Behörden im Fall des Wassers in Ost-Maui

Hawaiis Oberstes Gericht hat die staatlichen Behörden im langjährigen Rechtsstreit um das Wasser in Ost-Maui gerügt. Das Gericht entschied, dass die staatlichen Agenturen nicht ausreichend gehandelt haben, um die Wasserrechte der einheimischen Bevölkerung zu schützen.

Der Fall dreht sich um die Wasserentnahme aus den Flüssen und Bächen von Ost-Maui durch die Zuckerrohrplantagen von Alexander & Baldwin. Die einheimischen Gemeinden haben lange argumentiert, dass ihre Wasserversorgung durch diese Entnahmen beeinträchtigt wird.

Das Gericht entschied, dass die staatlichen Behörden nicht genug unternommen haben, um sicherzustellen, dass die einheimischen Wasserrechte geschützt werden. Es forderte die Behörden auf, ihre Bemühungen zu verstärken und sicherzustellen, dass die einheimische Bevölkerung angemessen versorgt wird.

Die Entscheidung des Obersten Gerichts wird als großer Sieg für die einheimischen Gemeinden in Ost-Maui angesehen. Die Bewohner hoffen nun, dass die staatlichen Behörden endlich Maßnahmen ergreifen werden, um sicherzustellen, dass ihr Recht auf Wasser geschützt wird.
