WRRCTR No.50 Bibliography of Water Resources of the Hawaiian Islands

Abstract

Pertinent to the field of the water resources of the Hawaiian Islands there have been several previous bibliographies, but they are mostly out of date, and there are great gaps among their coverages. The need for a comprehensive, up-to-date, annotated bibliography was recognized soon after Water Resources Research Center began to function in 1965. In preparing this bibliography, free use has been made of the earlier bibliographies listed in the index. Especially helpful have been the Annotated Bibliography and Index of Geology and Water Supply of the Island of Oahu, Hawaii by Nora D. Stearns, Bibliography of the Geology and Water Resources of the Island of Hawaii by Gordon A. Macdonald, the bibliography in Coastal Currents and Sewage Disposal in the Hawaiian Islands by Paivo Laevastu, Don E. Avery, and Doak C. Cox, Index to Irrigation Investigations in Hawaii by H. A. Wadsworth, and unpublished bibliographies compiled by Robert Merriam and the USDA Forest Service.This bibliography is arranged in four sections: the alphabetical listing by author, author index, subject index, and the FCST category listing of the descriptors used in the subject index.
