The Next Step

            With the proposal done and packed away we move on to our next step of the project, the detailed design. Mr. Blake came around and asked every group how they were doing and what our thoughts were on the situation. Mr. Blake pointed out some good ideas about how to incorporate our project with physics material. To help with the physics aspect of the project, we were directed to seek out scientific instruments to help gauge water flow, velocity, and volume for the stream to get a before and after look at our work. This also helps to get a good sense on how much water will go through the lo‘i’s and other placements down at the heiau to see if it is enough to sustain growth and life. We need to see how much water is able to come down without rain and find the main reason for this blockade. With a few more weeks of work, major blockades of the stream should be cleared out and larger volume of water shall run through.
