Streams/Ka’aiea

IIFS Status: Diverted but partially restored by 2021 PAIFS.

Current Situation:

USGS Gage: (None)

DAR Report: (None)

IFSAR Report: Link

Lease Area: Huelo

Additional Information: The Ka’aiea is diverted at least twice, at the Spreckels Ditch and the Wailoa Ditch.

Notes:

  • DAR = Division of Aquatic Resources. These guys assess stream biota.
  • IFSAR = Instream Flow Standard Assessment Report. This study focuses on hydrology, flow and water uses.
  • IIFS = Interim Instream Flow Standard
  • PAIFS = Petition to Amend Instream Flow Standard
  • §13-169-44 = Statutory requirement for Instream Flow. This is the fallback the CWRM uses in the absence of historical flow data. Basically it locks in whatever the situation was for the stream in 1988.
