Nā Kānāwai Pākaʻi ʻo Utah: ʻO ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i nā kumu
Ke hele nei ʻoe ma nā alanui o Utah, ʻike ʻoe i ka nui o ka mālama ʻana i nā lula kaʻa. Pono lākou no kou palekana a e hōʻoia i ka neʻe ʻana o ke kaʻa. Eia nō naʻe, pono ʻoe e hōʻoia i ka nānā like ʻana i nā kānāwai ke kau ʻoe. Aia kekahi mau wahi i ʻae ʻole ʻia ke kaʻa. Inā haʻihaʻi ʻoe i ke kānāwai, ʻo ia hoʻi, e hoʻopaʻi ʻia ana ʻoe. I kekahi mau hihia, hiki i nā luna ke huki i kāu kaʻa. E noʻonoʻo i kēia mau lula no ka hōʻoia ʻana ʻaʻole ʻoe e uhaki i nā lula i ke kaʻa ʻana.
Nā rula kaʻa e hoʻomanaʻo ai
ʻAʻole ʻae ʻia nā mea hoʻokele kaʻa ma nā alahele, nā alahele a me nā ala hele wāwae. Ke kaʻa kaʻa, pono lākou ma kahi o 20 kapuaʻi mai kahi ala ala. Pono lākou ma kahi o 15 kapuaʻi ma kahi o nā hydrants ahi. 'A'ole 'ae 'ia ke paka ma ke alo o ke alanui lehulehu a pilikino paha. Pono nā mea hoʻokele kaʻa ma kahi o 30 kapuaʻi mai nā kukui uila, nā hōʻailona hoʻomaha, nā hōʻailona hāʻawi, a me nā kukui kaʻa. Pono lākou e paka ma kahi o 30 kapuaʻi ka mamao mai nā wahi i koho ʻia no ka poʻe hele wāwae.
ʻAʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke kaʻa i loko o 20 kapuaʻi mai kahi puka hale ahi inā e kaʻa ana ʻoe ma ka ʻaoʻao like o ke alanui. Inā loaʻa nā hōʻailona a ke kaʻa nei ʻoe ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o ke alanui, pono ʻoe ma kahi o 75 mau mika mai ka puka komo. ʻAʻole kānāwai ke kaʻa ʻana ma mua a ma mua paha o nā ʻeli alanui. Hoʻohana like ia i nā mea keʻakeʻa ʻē aʻe ma ke alanui a i ʻole kokoke i ke alanui inā ʻoe e paka ma kahi hiki ke ālai i ke kaʻa.
ʻAʻole kānāwai ke kaʻa ʻelua a i ʻole ke kaʻa ma waho o ke alanui. 'A'ole 'ae 'ia ke paka 'ana ma luna o kekahi alahaka a alaloa paha. ʻAʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke paka ma nā tunnels. ʻAʻole ʻae ʻia ʻoe e paka ma ka ʻaoʻao o nā alanui waena. ʻO ka manawa wale nō e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke kaʻa ma kēia mau wahi inā ua haki kāu kaʻa a loaʻa paha ʻoe i kekahi maʻi kino.
ʻAʻole pāpā ʻia nā ʻāpana ʻulaʻula a me nā ʻāpana ʻulaʻula i ka wā e pili ana i ke kaʻa. Eia kekahi, mai paka i nā wahi kīnā ke ʻole nā hōʻailona a me nā hōʻailona e ʻae ai.
E hoʻomanaʻo e ʻokoʻa paha kekahi mau ʻoihana mai kēlā kūlanakauhale a i kēia kūlanakauhale, ʻoiai e like loa lākou. He mea nui e ʻike i nā lula ma kou kūlanakauhale a i ʻole ke kūlanakauhale a hahai iā lākou inā ʻaʻole lākou e mālama i ke kānāwai mokuʻāina. Ma waho aʻe o ka ʻokoʻa ʻokoʻa o kekahi mau lula, ʻokoʻa paha nā uku no ka hewa like ma nā kūlanakauhale ʻelua. No ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka pilikia o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka tikiki a i ʻole ka huki ʻana i kāu kaʻa, e ʻimi i nā hōʻailona e hōʻike ana i kahi a me ka manawa hiki iā ʻoe ke paka.
