The Wailua river on Kauai is the largest river in all of Hawaii, but the most controversial is the Waiahole stream on Oahu. The stream naturually ran from the Koolau Mountains through the Waiahole Valley and emptied into Kaneohe Bay. It fed many of the taro patches found throughout the valley. In 1995, the stream was diverted to feed many of the Leeward Oahu agricultural areas. In 2012, nearly 20 years later, the water rights over the stream is still a hotly contested issue with both windward and leeward Oahu farmers fighting over who should have the water.
