“…A majority of these investigations were conducted on a basin scale with a focus on computing low-flow characteristics, examining the effects of surface-water diversions on low flows, and, in some instances, examining habitat availability for native stream fauna (Fontaine, 2003;Gingerich, 2005;Gingerich and Wolff, 2005;Oki and others, 2010;Cheng and Wolff, 2012;Cheng, 2014). Statewide analysis of low flows includes studies by Yamanaga (1972), Fontaine and others (1992), Cheng (2016), Bassiouni and Oki (2013), and Clilverd and others (2019). For many of these studies, accuracy of the discharge estimates could be improved with longer periods of record at active continuous-record stations and additional continuous-record stations in areas with little or no streamflow data, such as Moloka'i and Hawai'i island, and leeward areas of all Hawaiian Islands.…”
