Description
“The Manoa-Palolo Canal was built thanks to the use of Works Progress Administratio moneys. Its rock lined walls channeled several meandering streams in the area into a straight run to the Ala Wai Canal, allowing the wetlands between Kapahulu and Mo’ili’ili to be opened for urban development.”
