Description:

Abstract:

This dataset watershed unit boundaries within the Waianae moku (traditional district) on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu. It was clipped from a dataset that shows watershed unit boundaries for the eight main Hawaiian Islands.

Purpose:

The purpose of this data set is to show watershed unit boundaries in the Waianae moku on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu. It is part of a larger effort to provide the Waianae community, located on the western side of Oahu, ecological and cultural spatial data to assist in their land and resource management efforts.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

This data set was clipped using ESRI ArcGIS to show only the watershed unit boundaries in the Waianae moku on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu. It was clipped from the state coverage entitled WTRSHDPY that displays watershed unit boundaries on the eight main Hawaiian Islands.

The original data was created as follows:

General:

Most arcs were created automatically from digital elevation model (DEM) data of Arc/INFO GRID watershed commands as described in the report "State Definition and Delineation of Watersheds" submitted along with these coverages. Arcs which could not be automatically created were manually digitized either on-screen (for small arcs and those across nearly flat areas) or from paper topographic quadrangle maps 1:24,000 scale (for longer arcs). Coastline arcs were copied from the ALLCOAST coverage from the Office of State Planning. There is an arc attribute to identify the source of each arc.

Automatic:

Most arcs were created automatically from smoothed 1:24,000 scale DEMs from the USGS. After smoothing, these were considered to be about equal to 1:100,000 scale DEMs. Therefore, the arcs derived from them are similar to those that could be defined from 1:100,000 contour maps. However, for Big Island, this was only done for the northeast coast. The rest of the island was generated automatically from 1:250,000 scale DEMs from the USGS.

Manual:

Manual arcs were added where automatic boundaries crossed a stream (usually in the upper headwaters) and where topography became so flat that automatic delineation was not possible (usually along the lower coastal areas).

Overview_Description:

Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:

Notes on particular attributes from the source metadata:

HSACODE: Hawaii Stream Assessment code for watershed units associated with perennial streams. For watershed units associated with intermittent streams, codes from the working files for the Hawaii Stream Assessment provided by Sallie Edmunds were used. For watershed units not associated with any stream coded by the Hawaii Stream Assessment, numbers were assigned uniquely within a hydrographic unit, starting at 99 and working down. It therefore easy to distinguish these watershed units.

WUNAME: Name of watershed unit based on Hawaii Stream Assessment names. Where no Hawaii Stream Assessment name exists, the name of a major stream or feature in the watershed unit is used.

WIC: Watershed Identification Code (used by DLNR) for WIC area closest to matching the watershed unit.

ACRES: Polygon area in acres. These acreages have to summed where multiple polygons comprise a single watershed unit.
