Southeast Oahu Regional Sediment Management: Identifying Sediment Pathways in the Vicinity of Wailea Point, Improved Characterization and Estimates of Sediment Sources, Pathways, and Sinks Under the System-Wide Water Resources Program (SWWRP) Volume 4

Abstract

The five work units undertaking the task of increasing the understanding and developing methodologies for estimating volumes of sediment by grain size, from different sediment sources and linking the amounts of nutrients input to the system are ongoing. The results will be forthcoming by the end of FY08. The outcome will be improved estimation of the required sediment source data input for SIAM, Gridded Surface Subsurface Hydrologic Analysis (GSSHA), ADaptive Hydrology Hydraulics (ADH), and HEC-RAS(SEDIMENT). Thus research will also aid in validation, calibration and interpretation of these models and provide improved methods for assessing the geomorphic stability of channel systems.
