Letter: What is the reasoning for drying up reservoirs?

We have just blown past the 1.5-degree-Celcius guideline in the Paris Climate Accords.

This is not a good thing. "Drill baby drill" is the cause, not the solution, to out-of-control wildfires.

Here on Maui, we have drained Volley Pond reservoir and emptied the reservoir in Wailuku Heights along Kuikahi Drive.

Both of these are needed for recharging the aquifer for nearby wells, and to be used for helicopter refills for water drops on wild fires.

What is the reason for drying up these water systems? It puts our community in danger.
