Abstract
Consideration of ground‐water hydrology in Hawaii independently of meteorology and surface‐water studies is scarcely practicable. The unit provinces, within which somewhat comparable ground‐water conditions are found, are so small, and the contrasts in annual rainfall in very short distances so marked, that each local problem requires attention to tho entire hydrologic cycle. For example, the District Engineer of the U.S. Geological Survey for surface water is also responsible for measurement and some control of artesian wells throughout most of the Territory and also maintains some rain gages. In turn, the Board of Water Supply in the Honolulu are a carries on measurements of rainfall, stream flow, tunnel yields, static levels of wells, shafts, and the general water table. Varied patterns of measurement and study of rainfall, water levels, and discharge quantities are also carried on by numerous other public agencies, agricultural groups, and individual plantations.
