Interns will spend about half their time working outdoors engaging with homeowners and community members while using proprietary technology to conduct rainwater assessments. These data will identify appropriate green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) such as rain gardens or catchment systems. The purpose of this project is to recharge aquifers and to mitigate flooding and the flow of brown water into the ocean. The other half of interns’ time will be spent working with the HGG team on data-related projects from GIS mapping and data visualization to story mapping and reporting. Interns will have the opportunity to apply systems thinking by contributing to the health and resilience of the ahupuaʻa through ʻāina (land) and moana (ocean) stewardship.
