The USGS Pacific Islands Water Science Center is releasing the data for (1) Seepage-run discharge measurements, March 23, 2022, He‘eia Stream and ‘Ioleka‘a Stream, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i (Heidi Kane et al., https://doi.org/10.5066/P9LN3FE0) and (2) Seepage-run discharge measurements, August 9, 2022, He‘eia Stream and ‘Ioleka‘a Stream, O‘ahu, Hawai‘i (Scot Izuka et al., https://doi.org/10.5066/P9RAQ1P1). This is part of the cooperative study with the Honolulu Board of Water Supply in collaboration with the Hawaii Commission on Water Resource Management to assess streamflow availability under low-flow conditions. The intent of the seepage run is to quantify the spatial distribution of streamflow along the reach during fair-weather, low-flow conditions, generally characterized by negligible direct runoff within the reach. The measurements can be used to characterize the net seepage of water into (water gain) or out of (water loss) the stream channel between measurement sites.
