8 Rain Shadows Visualized: Stream Location, Need for man-made diversion
NHD Flowline: Maui Rain Shadows Visualized: Stream Location, Need for man-made diversion

9 Part 2: Man-Made Factors Freshwater Distribution and Artificial Paths
NHD Flowline: Oahu Part 2: Man-Made Factors Freshwater Distribution and Artificial Paths

10 Data I Have Data I Need Topography: DEM Wind Speed NHD Monthly & Annual Rainfall Rasters Aquifers & Streams Wind direction Other freshwater: snow, fog, soil moisture Time-Series Data: Flow and Consumption Progress Report Quantify relationships between topography, wind direction and flow
