Low-Flow Characteristics of Streams Under Natural and Diversion Conditions, Waipio Valley, Island of Hawai'i, Hawai'i (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781499623048)

Over the past 100 years, natural streamflow in Waipiÿo Valley has been reduced by the transfer of water out of the valley by Upper and Lower H m kua Ditches. The physical condition and diversion practices along the two ditch systems have varied widely over the years, and as a result, so have their effects on natural streamflow in Waipiÿo Valley. Recent reno-vation and improvements to Lower H m kua Ditch system, along with proposals for its future operation and water-diver-sion strategies, have unknown implications. The purpose of this report is to quantify the availability of streamflow and to determine the effects of current and proposed diversion strate-gies on the low-flow hydrology in Waipiÿo Valley.
