A sensitivity analysis of groundwater-recharge estimates from a water-budget model was completed for the islands of Oahu and Maui, Hawaii (Johnson and others, 2023). Results of the sensitivity analysis were used to quantify the relative importance of selected model parameters to recharge estimates for three moisture zones (dry, mesic, and wet) on Oahu and Maui. This shapefile contains the boundaries of the moisture zones and boundaries of the model subareas that were used in the model simulations for Oahu. The shapefile attribute information includes the names of the land-cover types assigned to model subareas and the mean annual recharge values determined for the model subareas for the baseline scenario of the...

This shapefile represents the spatial distribution of mean annual water-budget components, in inches, for the Island of Maui, Hawaii. The water-budget components in the shapefile were computed by a water-budget model for a scenario representative of average climate conditions (1978–2007 rainfall) and 2010 land cover, as described in USGS SIR 2014-5168. The model was developed for estimating groundwater recharge and other water-budget components for each subarea of the model. The model subareas were generated using Esri ArcGIS software by intersecting (merging) multiple spatial data sets that characterize the spatial distribution of rainfall, fog interception, irrigation, reference evapotranspiration, direct runoff,...

The Water-budget Accounting for Tropical Regions Model (WATRMod) code was used for Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Maui, and the Island of Hawaiʻi to estimate the spatial distribution of groundwater recharge, soil moisture, evapotranspiration, and climatic water deficit for a set of water-budget scenarios. The scenarios included historical and future drought conditions, and a land-cover condition where shrubland and forest within the cloud zone were converted to grassland. For the historical drought condition, island-wide mean annual recharge estimates range from a decrease of 30 percent (239 million gallons per day [Mgal/d]) for Kauaʻi to a decrease of 39 percent (2,706 Mgal/d) for the Island of Hawaiʻi, relative to the...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) deployed passive samplers at surface-water and groundwater sites on the Hawaiian Islands of Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Maui, and Hawaiʻi for several weeks each during 2015–19. The passive samplers were deployed to assess the occurrence of pesticides and pesticide degradates, herein referred to as pesticides, in water at the sites. Some of the passive samplers were also used to assess the occurrence of additional organic contaminants and wastewater indicators in water at the sites. This dataset includes files with chemical results for the passive samplers. The chemical results include masses of pesticides that accumulated in the passive samplers and concentration values that represent the average...

This dataset contains pesticide-concentration values and other information for water samples and quality-control samples collected at surface-water sites on the Hawaiian Islands of Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Maui, and Hawaiʻi between November 2016 and June 2019. The water water samples and quality-control samples were collected for a study that assessed pesticides in surface water in Hawaiʻi, as described in a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) report available at https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20245071. The USGS National Water Quality Laboratory analyzed the water samples for pesticides that consisted of active ingredients in pesticide products and degradates of active ingredients in pesticide products. This dataset has three comma-separated...
Demand for freshwater in the State of Hawaiʻi is expected to increase by roughly 13 percent from 2020 to 2035. Groundwater availability in Hawaiʻi is affected by a number of factors, including land cover, rainfall, runoff, evapotranspiration, and climate change. To evaluate the availability of fresh groundwater under projected future-climate conditions, estimates of groundwater recharge are needed. A water-budget model with a daily computation interval was used to estimate the spatial distribution of groundwater recharge for Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, Maui, and the Island of Hawaiʻi for recent climate conditions and three future-climate scenarios. Climate conditions from 1978 to 2007 were used as the reference...

This data release contains the shapefiles of mean annual water-budget components for Guam for historic (1990‒2009) and future (2080‒2099) climate conditions. Components estimated for the 1990–2009 scenario represent an update to the historic (1961–2005) components estimated by Johnson (2012), and serve as a historic baseline for the components estimated for the future (2080–2099) climate scenario. The recharge distributions were estimated as part of a larger effort (Gingerich and others, 2019) to evaluate how one set of climate projections may impact Guam’s future groundwater resources. The recharge estimates may be used in numerical groundwater models that can evaluate the collective impacts of changes in recharge,...
