Pilot field tests were conducted in the continuing conceptual development of using impermeable membranes as separating liners to store fresh stream water in an embayment. The storage of fresh water in the ocean was
conceived as a less expensive...

The empirical orthogonal function was applied to analyze 40-yr annual rainfall data for 80 stations in the state of Hawaii, which included 21 stations on Hawaii, 18 on Maui, 5 on Molokai, 5 on Lanai, 16 on Oahu, and 15 on
Kauai. The chi-square...

Infiltration equations can be used to describe furrow and drip irrigation,
groundwater recharge, and wastewater injection. Physical two dimensional
(2-D) infiltration equations for drip irrigation expressed in explicit, power algebraic forms were...

The turbulence normally encountered in water works transmission and distribution pipelines is sufficient to mix several sources of water so that the resultant blend is the weighted average of the different sources.
Such in-line blending under the...

The Ewa caprock aquifer has been a long-standing water source for southern
Oahu, but the freshwater viability of the aquifer is being threatened with the gradual increase in the salinity level of pumped caprock aquifer water in recent years....
