Fok, Yu-Si, Leroy F. Heitz, and Henry H. Smith
The objective of this paper is to present a draft of Hawaii Rainwater Catchment Systems (RWCS) Development Guidelines for the conference participants and the readers of this paper.
The purpose of this paper is (1) to present research results of our investigations as outlined in the USGS Collaborative Research Project (09/01/97 to 08/30/99) to form the basic approach of the RWCS development guidelines, (2) to assess the abilities of RWCS users to comply with the items that have been proposed in 1994 Hawaii House Concurrent Resolution no. 214, and (3) to show the Draft Hawaii Rainwater Catchment Systems Development Guidelines which may be adopted by the public sector to regulate RWCS development and management.
The objective of this paper is to present a brief draft of the guidelines for Hawaii rainwater catchment systems (RWCS) development for conference participants and readers of this paper to review and comment on. This paper is divided into four major parts: (1) results of our investigation of this subject, (2) assessment of RWCS users ability to comply with guidelines developed under House Concurrent Resolution No. 214 (Hawaii House of Representatives, 1994), (3) discussion and evaluation, and (4) conclusions.
