Did Hawaii Water Official Horribly Misinterpret Sadhguru?

The Hawaiian water official who came under fire (pun intended) for not releasing water in a timely fashion in order to fight the fires on Maui sounds eerily like the Indian guru Sadhguru about the sacredness of water. No problem with the idea that water is sacred because of all substances that remain in liquid form at or around room temperature, ONLY water EXPANDS when frozen which is why ice floats. If water acted like all other liquids, then water would CONTRACT when frozen which means the oceans of the world would not exist as water but be completely frozen over as ice piled up from the ocean floor to the surface. Also it would mean life would probably not exist, and certainly not in a form that would allow higher life forms such as humans to exist.

Okay, enough with my sermonette on the sacredness of water but the point is that it is quite likely that the Hawaiian water official heard Sadhguru on the subject of water but misinterpreted the guru to the extent that he politicized it to mean that he had to hoard water to the extent of not releasing it to help prevent the devastation and loss of life on Maui until it was too late.
