The continuous loss leaves three-quarters of the island with no streams or lakes to supply fresh water. Now, as a serendipitous byproduct of volcano research, scientists have found new freshwater sources that may not only enable Hawaiians to move into previously uninhabitable areas, but could also help meet the needs of the island's growing population for generations to come...
Cold Stills & Hot Springs. Geologist William Fischer, who headed the survey, soon recognized the significance of the findings: like an aerial divining rod, the infra-red scanner had spotted streams of cool, fresh rain water flowing out into the ocean. After completing the volcanic survey, the B-25 flew back and forth over Hawaii's entire coastline, eventually detecting a total of 219 shore areas that might have underground fresh-water springs. In one 5-sq.-mi. area in Hilo Bay, the scientists estimate, the discharge of fresh water amounts to 100 million gallons a day. Using the infra...
