Timbol AS and Maciolek JA. 1978. Stream channel modification in Hawai`i: Part A: Statewide inventory of streams, habitat factors and associated biota. FWS/OBS/78/16. US Fish and Wildlife Service, Office of Biological Services, Stream Alteration Project. Columbia, MO
This is the first of a four-part series on Stream Channel Modification (Channelization) in Hawaii and Its Effects on Native Fauna. Part A (and FWS/0BS-78/17, 18, and 19, later) was prepared for the National Stream Alteration Team to provide the much-needed baselines for evaluating future stream alteration proposals as well as ecological information applicable to the protection and preservation of native Hawaiian stream fauna. This report is an inventory of channel modifications on perennial streams and general biota survey. Stream alteration data include date of origin, type and distance from the stream mouth. Ecosystem data include discharges, stream profiles, and qualitative biota survey. Streams are classified according to ecological quality using the proposed status-use categories of the Hawaii State Department of Health. Inventory started in August 1975 and finished in September 1976. Refinement of inventory and report continued until February 1978.
