ʻAʻole hiki ke noho ʻia nā mokupuni tropical e moe ana i loko o 30 mau makahiki ma muli o ka piʻi ʻana o ka ʻilikai a me ka hoʻolei ʻia ʻana o ka nalu e like me ka manaʻo. Hoʻomaopopo ka poʻe loea e hoʻopōʻino ʻia nā mālama wai wai ma nā atoll o ka Pākīpika a me nā moana ʻInia e ka loli ʻaʻole kākoʻo hou nā mea he nui i nā kānaka. Wanana nā ʻepekema e kiʻi ʻia kahi kiko kiko i ka waena o kēia kenekulia ke nalowale loa ka wai wai kūpono e inu ai. ʻO nā mokupuni e pili ana i nā wahi huakaʻi paradaiso e like me Seychelles a me Maldives hiki ke hoʻopili ʻia i ka manawa 2030, ʻōlelo lākou.
Ua kālele nā kānaka noiʻi mai ka US Geological Survey (USGS) a me ke Kulanui o Hawaii ma Mānoa i ka mokupuni ʻo Roi-Namur ma Kwajalein Atoll ma ka Repubalika o ko Marshall ʻAilana no kā lākou aʻo pūnaewele ʻana, i mālama ʻia mai Nowemapa 2013 a Mei 2015. ʻO ke kumu kumu o ka wai hou no nā mokupuni atoll lehulehu ka ua e luhe i ka lepo a noho ma laila ma ke ʻano he papa o ka wai kai hou e lana ana ma luna o ka wai paʻakai nui. Eia nō naʻe, wānana ʻia ke piʻi ʻana o ke kai e hopena i nā wai ʻino a me nā nalu ʻē aʻe e holoi a ma luna o nā mokupuni haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa, i ʻike ʻia ʻo ka overhash. ʻAʻole kūpono kēia hana i ka wai maoli ma nā atoll no ka ʻai kanaka.
Ua hoʻohana ka poʻe loea i nā hanana hoʻololi i ke aniau e hoʻolālā i ka hopena o ka piʻi ʻana o ka ʻilikai a me ka hoʻolei ʻana o ka nalu i ka wahi. Wanana nā ʻepekema, ma muli o ka helu o nā kinoea hoʻomehana honua hoʻomehana honua i kēia manawa, ʻo kēlā manawa i kēia makahiki ka hapanui o nā mokupuni atoll e ka kenekulia 21. ʻO ka hopena o ka nalo ʻana o ka wai wai inu e hana i ka paʻakikī o ka noho ʻana o ke kanaka i ka hapanui o nā wahi e hoʻomaka ana i nā makahiki 2030 a 2060, wahi a lākou. E koi paha kēia i ka neʻe ʻana o nā kamaʻāina mokupuni a i ʻole ke hoʻokomo kālā waiwai nui i nā hanana hou, e aʻo aku nā mea noiʻi.
Ua kiaʻi ka poʻe noiʻi ma ka mokupuni ʻo Roi-Namur ma Kwajalein Atoll ma ka Lepupalika o ko ʻAilana ʻAilana (kiʻi ʻia) no kā lākou aʻo pūnaewele ʻana, i mālama ʻia mai Nowemapa 2013 a Mei Mei 2015 & hoʻolaha ka poʻe loea i nā mālama wai wai wai ma nā atoll ma ka Pākīpika a me nā moana India, ʻo nā mokupuni ʻo Marshall (kiʻi ʻia) e hōʻino loa ʻia e ke aniau hoʻololi a ʻaʻole nui nā mea e kākoʻo hou aku i nā kānaka
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo T Stephen co-mea kākau ʻo Dr Stephen Gingerich, kahi hydrologist USGS: "ʻO nā hanana i hoʻoulu ʻia ka hopena i loko o ka wai kai paʻakai e komo ana i loko o ka lepo a hoʻohaumia i ka wai wai wai hou. 'ʻAʻole lawa ka ua ma hope o ka makahiki e huki i ka wai paʻakai a hōʻoluʻolu i ka lako wai o ka mokupuni ma mua o ka hiki ʻana o nā ʻino o ka makahiki e hiki mai ana e hana hou nei i nā hanana i kau ʻia.' ʻOi aku ma mua o 1,100 mau mokupuni haʻahaʻa o ka moku Lepupalika ʻo Marshall ma 29 atoll, a he home ia no nā haneli he mau tausani mau kānaka. Ke piʻi aʻe nei nā pae kai, me nā helu kiʻekiʻena o nā ʻāina tropika, kahi e kū nei nā tausani o nā mokupuni ʻololaha haʻahaʻa. Ua ʻōlelo ka kime hiki i kā lākou hoʻokokoke ke lawelawe ma ke ʻano he hope no nā atoll a puni ka honua, ka hapanui o lākou he ʻano like a me kahi ʻano - e like me, ma ka awelika, a me nā wahi kiʻekiʻe o ka ʻāina.
Ua ʻōlelo nā kānaka noiʻi ʻaʻole pili wale nā mea hou i nā mokupuni ʻo Marshall wale nō, akā i ka poʻe hoʻi ma nā mokupuni ʻo Caroline, Cook, Gilbert, Line, Society a me Spratly a me nā Maldives, Seychelles, a me nā mokupuni ʻo Northwestern Hawaii. ʻO nā noiʻi ma mua e pili ana i ke kūpaʻa ʻana o kēia mau mokupuni i ka piʻi ʻana o ka ʻilikai i kuhi ʻia e ʻike lākou i nā hopena inundation liʻiliʻi a hiki i ka hopena o ke kenekulia 21. Akā ʻaʻole i noʻonoʻo nā noiʻi mua i ka weliweli hou aʻe o ka hoʻoulu ʻia e ka nalu a me ka hopena o ka loaʻa ʻana o ka wai hou. ʻO Dr Curt Storlazzi, ka mea kākau o ke aʻo ʻana, i ʻōlelo ʻia: 'ʻO ke kiko kipa ke loaʻa ʻole ka wai wai ma ka hapanui o nā mokupuni atoll e hoʻolālā ʻia e kiʻi ʻia ma hope o ka waena o ka 21st Century. 'ʻO ia ʻike nui ke kī e loiloi i nā mea weliweli he nui a hoʻoneʻe i nā hana e hōʻemi i ka makaʻu a hoʻonui i ke kūpaʻa o nā kaiāulu mokupuni o ka honua.'
Ua paʻi ʻia nā ʻike piha o ke aʻo ʻana i loko o ka puke pai 'O nā hana pāku'i
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- Researchers focused on Roi-Namur Island on Kwajalein Atoll in the Republic of the Marshall Islands (pictured) for their site study, which took place from November 2013 to May 2015 & Experts warn that freshwater reserves on atolls in the Pacific and Indian oceans, like those of the Marshall Islands (pictured) will be so damaged by climate change that many will no longer support humans.
- Researchers from the US Geological Survey (USGS) and the University of Hawaii at Mānoa focused on Roi-Namur Island on Kwajalein Atoll in the Republic of the Marshall Islands for their site study, which took place from November 2013 to May 2015.
- Researchers said that the new findings have relevance not only to the Marshall Islands, but also to those in the Caroline, Cook, Gilbert, Line, Society and Spratly Islands as well as the Maldives, Seychelles, and Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.
