Can anyone tell me if there were any waterfalls that onced flowed into the Waikiki area between Ala Moana Center and Honolulu Zoo? According to Mary Pukui, Waiakeakua seems to be a Waterfall of Manoa Valley, Honolulu. Where did this Waialele flow to? Ha`aha`a no wau |

here were no waterfalls but lots of springs. The whole area was duck farms before the Ala Wai Canal was built. My grandfather worked as a carpenter on the project. Spring water still feeds the Willow's Restaurant. |
