Water quality data from the State of Hawaii Department of Health in Hawaiian waters from 1973 to 2006

browse graphicPreview graphic
Water quality data from were collected by the Monitoring Section of the State of Hawaii, Department of Health. Data were obtained from 373 state-wide coastal stations employing well-established instruments and methodologies. This dataset spans 1973-2006. Parameters include temperature, salinity, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, percent saturation of oxygen, pH, turbidity, oxidation-reduction potential, and concentration of fecal coliforms.

Purpose The Clean Water Branch (CWB) protects the public health of residents and tourists who enjoy recreating in and around Hawaii's coastal and inland water resources. The CWB also protects and restores inland and coastal waters for marine life and wildlife. This is accomplished through statewide coastal water surveillance and watershed-based environmental management through a combination of permit issuance, monitoring, enforcement, sponsorship of polluted runoff control projects, and public education.
