Description:

Hydrologic Monitoring and InvestigationsThe USGS Pacific Islands Water Science Center provides reliable, objective scientific information to address water-related issues in the State of Hawaiʻi and the U.S. Affiliated Pacific Islands.Learn MorePacific Islands Quick LinksCurrent (real-time) conditionsWater dataNWIS MapperWater AlertData productsPublicationsConnect with us Guam’s water demands are anticipated to increase. Potential impacts of sea-level rise and a changing climate on surface-water and groundwater resources are assessed.  Demand for freshwater on the island of Maui is expected to increase by 45 percent between 2015 and 2035. Wetter and drier climate scenarios impact the availability of groundwater to meet this demand.  The main office of the Pacific Islands Water Science Center is located on Ford Island. Year Published: 2020 Local to landscape-level controls of water fluxes through Hawaiian forests: Effects of invasive animals and plants on soil infiltration capacity across substrate and moisture gradients Given the potential effect of invasive plants and animals to water fluxes through forests, the invasive-driven degradation of native ecosystems is a topic of great concern for many downstream land and water managers. The infiltration rate determines the partitioning between runoff and infiltration into soil in Hawaiian forests and beyond. Thus, to...

Year Published: 2020 Numerical simulation of groundwater availability in central Moloka‘i, Hawai‘i Since the 1990s, increased chloride concentrations of water pumped from wells (much of which is used for drinking water) and the effects of withdrawals on groundwater-dependent ecosystems have led to concerns over groundwater availability on the island of Molokaʻi, Hawaiʻi. An improved understanding of the hydrologic effects of proposed...

Year Published: 2019 Simulating land cover change impacts on groundwater recharge under selected climate projections, Maui, Hawaiʻi This project developed an integrated land cover/hydrological modeling framework using remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) data, stakeholder input, climate information and projections, and empirical data to estimate future groundwater recharge on the Island of Maui, Hawaiʻi, USA. End-of-century mean annual groundwater recharge... Brewington, Laura; Keener, Victoria; Mair, Alan Attribution: Pacific Islands Water Science Center, Water Resources
