Hawaii Regional Sediment Management: Regional Sediment Budget for the Poipu Region of Kauai, HI

Abstract

This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note (CHETN) reviews the development of a regional sediment budget for the Poipu Region on the Island of Kauai, HI, as part of the Hawaii Regional Sediment Management (RSM) initiative funded by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) RSM Program. This document discusses the methodology used for determining sediment transport rates and presents final rates for each littoral cell. The rates presented were used to create the present-day sediment budget for the Poipu Region using the Sediment Budget Analysis System (SBAS) software.
