Book Description
"The West Maui Water Owner's Manual is a collection of recommendations for protecting for protecting and improving water quality and ocean resources in West Maui. The Owner Manual recommends actions for all the watershed's residents and users, and identifies specific tasks for which the large plantations, government agencies, and individual residents should be responsible. It is a comprehensive plan for protecting both drinking water sources and coastal waters. Recommendations spelled out in the Owners Manual include more erosion control for agricultural land and construction sites, improved management practices for landscape and agricultural fertilizer use, a protective program for drinking water supplies, better drainage designs for new developments, and more effective algae removal programs"--Summary.

Hydrology of the Hawaiian Islands
Author: L. Stephen Lau
Publisher: University of Hawaii Press
ISBN: 0824829484
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
Why is groundwater the predominant drinking water source in Hawaii? Why are groundwater sources susceptible to pesticide contamination? How long does it take for water in the mountains to journey by land and underground passages to reach the coast? Answers to questions such as these are essential to understanding the principles of hydrology—the science of the movement, distribution, and quality of water—in Hawaii. Due to the humid tropical climate, surrounding ocean, volcanic earth, and high mountains, many hydrologic processes in the Islands are profoundly different from those of large continents and other climatic zones. Management of water, land, and environment must be informed by appropriate analyses, or communities and ecosystems face great uncertainty and may be at risk. The protection of groundwater, coastal waters, and streams from pollution and the management of flood hazards are also significant. This volume presents applications of hydrology to these critical issues. The authors begin by outlining fundamental hydrologic theories and the current general knowledge then expand into a formal discussion specific to Hawaii and the distinctive elements and their interrelations under natural and human-influenced conditions. They include chapters on rainfall and climate, evaporation, groundwater, and surface runoff. Details on the quantification of hydrologic processes are available to those with more technical knowledge, but general readers with an interest in the topic—one of singular importance for the Hawaiian Islands—will find much in the volume that is timely and accessible.
