Geophysical surveys for assisting in determining the ground water resources, Kihei exploration site, Island of Maui, Hawaii

Abstract

The main objective of the geophysical survey was to assist in characterizing the hydrologic regime in the study area for a proposed ground water well. Ground water resources can occur on the Island of Maui basically in two modes: • In a basal mode where a lens of fresh water floats on saline water, and o In a high-level mode where the ground water occurrence is controlled by subsurface damming structures.
