He aha nā lula wai kaʻa ma Arkansas?
Hiki ke loaʻa nā ala ʻauʻau kaʻa ma nā haneli ala kaʻawale ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, mai kahakai a hiki i kahakai, a he kōkua nui ia i nā mea hoʻokele ma ko lākou mau kūlanakauhale. Hiki ke hoʻohana wale ʻia nā ala kaʻa e nā kaʻa me kekahi mau kaʻa, e hoʻomaʻamaʻa nui i ke kaʻa i ka hola wikiwiki. ʻO nā ala kaʻa kaʻa e hiki ai i ka poʻe ke hele wikiwiki i ka hana (ʻoiai i ka wā o ka hola wikiwiki, e holo mau nā ala kaʻa hui ma nā ala nui maʻamau) a paipai i nā kānaka e kaʻa like ma mua o ka hoʻokahi. No laila, ʻuʻuku nā mea hoʻokele ma ke alanui, e hoʻomaikaʻi ana i ke kaʻa no nā mea a pau, ʻoiai no ka poʻe ʻaʻole i ke ala o ka wai kaʻa. ʻO ka liʻiliʻi o nā kaʻa, ʻo ia hoʻi ka liʻiliʻi o ke kālā no ka ʻaila, ka liʻiliʻi o ke kalapona, a me ka liʻiliʻi o nā alanui i pōʻino (a no laila ua emi ke kālā o ka mea ʻauhau no ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i nā ala ākea).
Ua ʻae ʻia nā kaʻa kaʻa ma nā ala kaʻa, a ma kekahi mau mokuʻāina, hiki i nā kaʻa wahie ʻē aʻe ke holo ma nā ala kaʻa me hoʻokahi kaʻa. ʻO kēia mau mea a pau e hana i kahi alaloa me kahi koho wikiwiki a maʻalahi no ka poʻe holo (a i ʻole ka poʻe e hoʻāʻo nei e hele ma ka hola wikiwiki). Mālama nā ala kaʻa kaʻa i ka manawa a me ke kālā, a hāʻawi i ka maluhia o ka noʻonoʻo no ka mea ʻaʻole pono lākou e hoʻopaʻa i nā kaʻa lehulehu.
E like me nā kānāwai kaʻa kaʻa, ʻokoʻa nā lula o nā ʻauwaʻa mai kēlā me kēia mokuʻāina, no laila e nānā mau nā mea hoʻokele o Arkansas i nā hōʻailona alanui ke haʻalele lākou iā Arkansas a mākaukau e hoʻohana i nā lula mokuʻāina ʻē aʻe.
Loaʻa iā Arkansas nā ala kaʻa?
ʻOiai ka loaʻa ʻana o 16,000 mau mile o nā alanui ma Arkansas, ʻaʻohe ala kaʻa i kēia manawa ma ka mokuʻāina. I ka wā i kaulana mua ai nā ala ʻauʻau kaʻa, ua hoʻoholo ka mokuʻāina ʻo Arkansas ʻaʻole pono ka hāʻawi ʻana i ke ala i nā loko kaʻa a ua hoʻoholo ʻo ia e haʻalele i kona mau ala āpau i piha i nā ala komo piha. Ua hoʻoholo pū lākou ʻaʻole e kūkulu i nā alana hou no kēia mau alaloa i mea e maʻalahi ai nā wahi kaʻa i koho ʻia.
E loaʻa nā ala kaʻa ma Arkansas i kēlā me kēia manawa koke?
ʻOiai ke kaulana o nā ala kaʻa kaʻa ma waena o ka ʻāina, a me ka maikaʻi o lākou, me he mea lā ʻaʻole e kūkulu ʻo Arkansas i nā ala kaʻa i kēlā me kēia manawa.
Ke kokoke nei ka moku'āina e hoʻomaka i kahi papahana alanui i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka ʻauhau ʻauhau i kapa ʻia ʻo Arkansas Connectivity Program e hoʻohui a mālama i nā alanui a me nā ala ākea ma ka mokuʻāina. Eia naʻe, ʻoiai ʻo Arkansas e mākaukau nei e hoʻomaka i kēia papahana $10 biliona, ʻaʻohe manaʻo i kēia manawa no kekahi o nā papahana e hoʻohui i kahi ala wai kaʻa.
Ke hoʻopau nei ka hoʻolālā ʻana, no laila aia kahi manawa e loli ai kēia, akā i kēia manawa, ʻike ʻia ʻo Arkansas me ka ʻole o nā ala wai kaʻa. Paipai nui ʻia nā mea hoʻokele i ʻike i kēia mea kahiko a paʻakikī paha e hoʻopili i ka Polokalamu Hoʻohui Arkansas a i ʻole ke Keʻena ʻOihana Alanui ʻo Arkansas e hoʻopuka i ko lākou makemake a me nā hopohopo.
ʻO nā ala ʻauʻau kaʻa e hōʻemi i nā manawa hele no nā limahana he nui me ka ʻole o ka hoʻopōʻino ʻana i nā poʻe ʻē aʻe, a mālama i ka manawa, ke kālā, nā alanui a me ke kaiapuni. He ʻano maikaʻi lākou o nā ala ākea a puni ka ʻāina a ke manaʻolana nei ka wā e hiki mai ana ma ka mokuʻāina nui o Arkansas.
