Water Catchment Solutions for Kohala, Hawaii

The Kohala district spans two dramatically different environments. South Kohala's coastal strip — home to the Mauna Lani and Mauna Kea resort areas — is one of the driest regions in Hawaii, receiving as little as 8 inches of rain per year. Meanwhile, upper North Kohala toward Kohala Mountain can receive over 80 inches annually, with persistent cloud cover and fog drip adding moisture that never shows up in rain gauge measurements.

This extreme rainfall gradient within a single district means Pacific Blue Catchment designs fundamentally different systems depending on your elevation and aspect. Coastal Kohala properties need maximum storage capacity to capture every drop during rare rain events, while upland properties need systems that can handle high-volume continuous flow without overflowing or backing up. We have installed Pioneer tanks throughout the Kohala corridor, from Kawaihae harbor up through the historic plantation towns along Akoni Pule Highway.

Kohala is also wind country — the trade winds accelerate along the coast and through the mountain saddle, carrying salt spray and red volcanic dust that can foul catchment systems. Our Kohala installations incorporate corrosion-resistant components, sealed tank entries, and filtration stages designed to remove the fine iron-rich dust particles that give the region its characteristic red soil.
