Mean annual water-budget components for the Island of Maui, Hawaii, for average climate conditions, 1978-2007 rainfall and 2017 land cover

This shapefile represents the spatial distribution of mean annual water-budget components, in inches, for the Island of Maui, Hawaii for an average (or present-day) climate condition and 2017 land cover, as described in USGS SIR 2019-5064. The water-budget components for each model subarea were computed for a scenario representative of present-day climate conditions during 1978-2007 using a water-budget model developed by Johnson and others (2018). The 2017 land-cover map developed by Mair (2018) was used to define the land-cover conditions and the model subareas. The shapefile attribute information associated with each subarea (or polygon) present an estimate of mean annual rainfall, fog interception, irrigation, septic system leachate, seepage from reservoirs and cesspools, runoff, canopy evaporation, total evapotranspiration, and total recharge. This shapefile also includes select geographic and land-cover attributes of the model subareas. Brief descriptions of the water-budget components and attributes are included in this metadata file. Refer to USGS SIR 2019-5064 for further details of the methods and sources used to determine these components and attributes.
