How is it that, after drilling through fresh water and then through 9000 feet of salt water, they hit cold fresh water under pressure? That wasn’t supposed to happen.
Last year, Don Thomas gave a talk to the Keaukaha Community Association about this project I wrote about last time.
This is what it looks like when water under 160 pounds of pressure shoots up out of the ground.

Don Thomas is the UH professor who was in charge of the water drilling project, and he has agreed to take us on a behind-the-scenes tour of this fascinating project. I’ll be writing more about it here at the blog; stay tuned!
