May 1974
ABSTRACT
A computerized information storage and retrieval system has been developed for water quality data collected and maintained by the Department of Health, State of Hawaii, from 1955 through 1971. The system provides for safe, permanent, storage and rapid retrieval of water quality data. In addition to the ability to retrieve a systematically organized total data list, the capability also is present to compute, list and plot certain statistics basic to data reduction and analysis techniques. A catalogue of the major water quality stations in Hawaii with their respective agencies is included. Recommendations are presented for the continued maintenance, development, and expansion of the WQISAR system.
