John Mink’s Robust Analytical Model (RAM)(Mink, J.F. 1981.Determination of Sustainable Yields, in:Groundwater in Hawaii – A Century of Progress, Water Resources Research Center, University of Hawaii)
D = I{1 – (h/H)2}D = allowable draft (i.e. sustainable yield)I = RechargeH = original head before pumping (important calibration point)h = equilibrium head
Limitations•Assumes uniform distribution (optimized) pumpage•Difficult, if not impossible, to define original & equilibrium head•Does not directly assess changes in chlorides or water levels at a specific well•Does not consider GDE impacts directly

Proposed amendment to 2019 WRPP
• Maintains minimum range of latest recharge/sustainable yields
• Appears more consistent with observed hydrogeologic data
• Simple management change to address perceived threat to Waimea from drastic lowering of SY without changing USGS analysis
