Ground Water in the Southern Lihue Basin, Kauai, Hawaii

摘要

The objective of the third phase of the USGS/Kauai DOW cooperative study was toobtain a comprehensive understanding of ground-water occurrence and movement in the southern Lihue Basin. The objective was met by incorporating the diverse data from previous phases and conducting additional data collection and analyses, including (1) analysis of ground-water dishcarge to streams using hydrograph-separation techniques and instantaneous discharge measurements, and (2) numerical ground-water modeling. This report describes the resulting understanding of the hydrogeologic system in the southern Lihue Basin.
