Streams - Hawaii

Published by Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2016-01-25T00:00:00.000+00:00
Perennial and non-perennial streams in the Main Hawaiian Islands. Data accessed from the Hawaii Statewide GIS Program. Arcs were extracted from the 1983 USGS Digital Line Graphs (DLG) hydrography layers based on the State of Hawaii Commission on Water Resources Management (CWRM) Hawaii Stream Assessment (HSA) maps and database, then coded with the HSA stream code, and the HSA stream name (1993). The State of Hawaii Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR) added additional streams from the DLG hydrography layer, and added additional attribute data. Further additions, refinement, and editing were completed by DAR in 2003, 2004. Additional streams were added and coded (NON-PERENNIAL) in 2005. The State of Hawaii Office of Planning (OP) Staff standardized and re-ordered attributes and merged individual island shapefiles into one statewide shapefile in March, 2005. Note: Not all items are populated / assigned for each stream. For example, streams that were not part of the Hawaii Stream Assessment do not have an HSA Code. Update received from CWRM and DAR, 2013 (Data current to March, 2008). Update includes many attribute corrections and additional information (e.g. correction of stream number, stream type, and addition of tributary names).
