INTRODUCTION
This progress report is intended to summarize the activities of the geohydrologic study of the eastern slope of West Maui initiated in August 1966 by the Water Resources Research Center. This study is supported by joint funding from the State of Hawaii and Wailuku Sugar Company. Phases now completed and in progress include: review of the geological aspects of the area under consideration, installation of hydrologic monitoring systems, and compilation of data needed to establish a permissive sustained yield (safe yield). Also a two-day geophysical exploration project employing seismic techniques was carried out in the Wailuku area as an important adjunct to the above activities. A report on the seismic technique will be submitted later through the Water Resources Research Center. This report is appended by an expenditure report.
