The Board of Water Supply in Hawaii works in conjunction with State and Federal agencies, such as the U.S Environmental Protection Agency and Hawaii State Department of Health, to ensure the water in Hawaii is safe to drink.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"does-hawaii-dump-garbage-in-the-ocean\"><\/span>Does Hawaii dump garbage in the ocean?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Hawaii sits at the center of swirling ocean currents, just east of the Great Pacific garbage patch. As a result, its shoreline catches plastic from all over the world, some of it decades old. Just a few weeks prior, Larson found a vintage Sea and Ski tanning lotion bottle, most likely from the 1950s.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-water-warm-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Is water warm in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As a general rule, Hawaiian waters average 77 degrees in the wintertime to 82 degrees in the summertime. Now, compared to the U.. West Coast, Hawaiian waters are definitely much warmer (10-20 degrees warmer) than the waters off Southern California.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-is-hawaii-water-so-good\"><\/span>Why is Hawaii water so good?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The short answer is: Yes. According to the Board of Water Supply, Hawaii tap water is some of the best quality drinking water around. It is rainwater that is naturally filtered through underground porous volcanic rock for about 25 years before it reaches aquifers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-do-hawaiians-say-water\"><\/span>How do Hawaiians say water?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I love the word for water in Hawaiian.

The Hawaii State government estimates that the population on Oahu will increase to about 1,130,000 by 2030 which will demand approximately 206 mgd.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-is-the-ocean-bluer-in-hawaii\"><\/span>Why is the ocean bluer in Hawaii?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The reason the ocean is blue is due to the absorption and scattering of light. The blue wavelengths of light are scattered, similar to the scattering of blue light in the sky but absorption is a much larger factor than scattering for the clear ocean water.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"why-is-hawaii-water-so-warm\"><\/span>Why is Hawaii water so warm?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Second, the water beneath those winds grows warmer the farther west you go. (It is the Trade Winds themselves that cause this by pushing Sun-warmed surface waters toward Asia.) The counter current (however it got started) carries some of that warm water back to Hawaii.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-does-a-green-ocean-mean\"><\/span>What does a green ocean mean?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>GREEN MEANS PHYTOPLANKTON. When the water looks especially green, it means there are a lot of microscopic algae (called phytoplankton) growing near the surface. Phytoplankton get energy from sunlight, just like plants do.
