Original Note:
The video and water release actions are unrelated. The release has to do with long-term disputes over water ownership and usage on the island. Here is one example of the ongoing dispute: https://www.environment-hawaii.org/?p=13886 Overall, there was a delay in releasing, but it was tied to the above dispute. https://www.civilbeat.org/2023/08/a-state-official-refused-to-release-water-for-west-maui-fires-until-it-was-too-late/
