Ground water on tropical Pacific Islands— Understanding a vital resource
Gordon Tribble
2008, Circular 1312
To a casual observer, tropical Pacific islands seem idyllic. Closer scrutiny reveals that their generally small size makes them particularly vulnerable to economic and environmental stresses imposed by rapidly growing populations, increasing economic development, and global climate change. On these islands, freshwater is one of the most precious resources. Ground...

Ground-Water Availability in the Wailuku Area, Maui, Hawai'i
Stephen B. Gingerich
2008, Scientific Investigations Report 2008-5236
Most of the public water supply in Maui, Hawai'i, is from a freshwater lens in the Wailuku area of the island. Because of population growth, ground-water withdrawals from wells in this area increased from less than 10 Mgal/d during 1970 to about 23 Mgal/d during 2006. In response to increased...
