HAWAII WATER PLAN
Legislative Mandate
• 1987 – Hawaii Water Code (HRS Chapter 174C)
• Protect Hawaii’s surface & ground water resources
• Established the Commission on Water Resources Management (CWRM)
• Development of the Hawaii Water Plan as… “a long range planning guide for CWRM”

HAWAII WATER PLAN
County WUDP’s
Objective –“to set forth the allocation of water to land use through the development of policies & strategies to guide the County in its planning, management and development of water resources to meet projected demands”
Hawai’i County decided to fund the update – recognized its importance as “a long range planning guide for DWS”
![Page 5: County of Hawaii Department of Water Supply Water Use & Development Plan Update Integrating Water Law and Land Use Planning in Hawaii Big Island Water](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102923/5517ba08550346892b8b4797/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Statewide Framework (2000)
Objective
Created by CWRM to facilitate the coordination, integration & consistency of the components of the Hawaii Water Plan
![Page 6: County of Hawaii Department of Water Supply Water Use & Development Plan Update Integrating Water Law and Land Use Planning in Hawaii Big Island Water](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102923/5517ba08550346892b8b4797/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Technical Approach
Key Tasks
• Inventory of Existing Sources• Inventory of Existing Uses• Identification of Existing Water Systems• Assessment of Land Use Plans & Policies• Projection of Future Water Demands• Identification of Supply-side (Resource) &
Demand-side (Uses/Control) Options• Public Participation – Stakeholder
Input/Review

Technical Approach
Inventory of Existing Sources
• CWRM database– Registered Wells– Registered Diversions
• Updated well pumpage information/records
• Updated diversion records• Catchment systems are major sources• Reclaimed wastewater• Desalination systems
![Page 8: County of Hawaii Department of Water Supply Water Use & Development Plan Update Integrating Water Law and Land Use Planning in Hawaii Big Island Water](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102923/5517ba08550346892b8b4797/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Sustainable Yield

![Page 9: County of Hawaii Department of Water Supply Water Use & Development Plan Update Integrating Water Law and Land Use Planning in Hawaii Big Island Water](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102923/5517ba08550346892b8b4797/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Technical Approach
Key Definitions
• Sustainable Yield– “Sustainable yield” means the maximum rate
at which water may be withdrawn from a water source without impairing the utility or quality of the water source as determined by the commission.”
• Instream Flow Standards– “a quantity or flow of water or depth of water
which is required to be present at a specific location in a stream system at certain specified times of the year to protect fishery, wildlife, recreational, aesthetic, scenic, and other beneficial instream uses.”

Technical Approach
Projected Water Demands
• Full Build-out Scenarios– Sustainability of Land Use Policies– Application of Standard Unit Rates to GP/Z
• Water Demand Projections – “Infill” of undeveloped or under-developed
lands– Based on Population Growth Scenarios– Source Availability attenuates Development– Water System Infrastructure restricts
Development – DWS treats State, County, DHHL, etc. same as
other developers with respect to availability & infrastructure

Technical Approach
Identification of Resource Options• Conventional Water System Infrastructure• Alternative Water Resource Measures
– Desalination– Reclaimed Water
• Demand-side Measures– Conservation Programs – Affects Energy Usage– Xeriscape/Landscape management– Reduced Development Density - occurring– Water Availability Ceilings
![Page 26: County of Hawaii Department of Water Supply Water Use & Development Plan Update Integrating Water Law and Land Use Planning in Hawaii Big Island Water](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102923/5517ba08550346892b8b4797/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Challenges
Limited Information
• Based on the best available data• Source information from WRPP not
available early in the process & WQP not yet updated
• Agricultural Water Use - AWUDP projections not available – not island-wide
• Requires reasonable judgment & assumptions
![Page 27: County of Hawaii Department of Water Supply Water Use & Development Plan Update Integrating Water Law and Land Use Planning in Hawaii Big Island Water](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102923/5517ba08550346892b8b4797/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Challenges
Opportunity to Focus Future Efforts• Identification of Data Needs
– Updated Source Capabilities– Agricultural Water Requirements
• Identify areas requiring critical water resource management – current & future– Prioritize study and assessment efforts – Continue to monitor “non-problem” areas
• Linking of Land Planning Policies with infrastructure & resource availability
![Page 28: County of Hawaii Department of Water Supply Water Use & Development Plan Update Integrating Water Law and Land Use Planning in Hawaii Big Island Water](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022102923/5517ba08550346892b8b4797/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Footnotes
• Full Build-out conditions (General Plan & Zoning) represent “worst case scenarios” for the study areas– Used for “order of magnitude”-type assessment of the
region– Helpful in prioritizing focus of efforts
• Total Demand includes both potable & non-potable uses– More evaluation of non-potable use, i.e. Agricultural use
of water is required• Focus on existing conditions & projected demands
to prioritize efforts

General Recommendations
• Promote water conservation• Use Highest Quality Water for Highest Uses• Plan for use of Non-potable Sources & Reclaimed
Water for landscape irrigation & agriculture • More monitoring & studies to determine “safe”
sustainable yields for groundwater• Anticipate “status quo” use of stream diversions
until determination of instream flow standards

Recommendations
Sector 803 – West Mauna Kea
• Develop basal groundwater for potable water sources with caution, considering the thin basal lens
• Investigate alternative sources of potable water, including transfer of water from the Kohala Aquifer Sector Area, surface water sources, desalination of brackish basal water
• Implement demand side conservation measures• Investigate the feasibility of non-potable water
systems (reclaimed water) in areas with concentrated development, such as the resort complexes

Implementation Plan• DWS 20-year Water Master Plan
(completed)– Implementation strategy for DWS systems– Development of 20-year CIP
• Integration with Department of Planning Policies– Community Development Plans
• Pursue Regional Assessment of Available Water Resources (West Hawaii)– Hualalai– West Mauna Kea– Northwest Mauna Loa
