Publications
Published Reports
Various reports are published by Commission staff on a range of topics related to the study and assessment of
Hawaii's water resources. For reference purposes, the Commission staff shall assign a publication reference (PR) number to
all posted documents. Each PR number is comprised of a 4-digit year (e.g., 2003), followed by a sequential
2-digit number for the order in which the publication is produced (e.g., 01, 02, 03...).

Circulars
Past circulars were published by Commission staff or the Division of Water and Land Development on a
range of topics. This page is still under construction, and prior circulars may be posted as they become
available digitally (depending on demand). For reference purposes, circulars (C) were assigned sequential
numbers in the order that they were produced (e.g., C-1, C-2, C-3...).

Hawaii Division of Hydrography Bulletins
The Hawaii Division of Hydrography Bulletins contain the first comprehensive and detailed studies of
the geology and ground water resources of the (then) Territory of Hawaii. The main author of this remarkable
series was Harold T. Stearns, a geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey for more than 20 years. The Bulletins
have long been out-of-print, but are still important references for anyone working in the field of Hawaiian
geology. Eight of the 13 Bulletins that were produced are provided below in Adobe Acrobat PDF format. To learn
more about these bulletins, please visit the U.S. Geological Survey, from which the Bulletins below are linked. (Text excerpted from U.S. Geological Survey Website).
