IFS Assessment Reports (IFSAR)
The Instream Flow Standard Assessment Report (IFSAR) is a compilation of the hydrology,
instream uses, and noninstream uses related to a specific stream and its respective surface
water hydrologic unit. The purpose of the IFSAR is to present the best available information
for a given hydrologic unit, and to provide IFS recommendations. The IFSAR is intended to act
as a living document that should be updated and revised as necessary, thus also serving as a
stand-alone document in the event that the Commission receives a subsequent petition solely
for the respective hydrologic unit.
Following the preparation of the IFSAR and initial agency and public review, information may be added to the IFSAR at any time. Dates of revision will be reflected as such. Future review of the IFSAR, by agencies and the public, will only be sought when a new petition to amend the interim (or permanent) instream flow standard is pending. Recommendations for IFS amendments shall be prepared separately as another stand-alone document. Thus, the IFSAR acts solely as a compendium of best available information and may be revised further without the need for subsequent public review following its initial preparation.

TopHAWAII DIVISION OF AQAUTIC RESOURCES
Atlas of Hawaiian Watersheds and Their Aquatic Resources
Given the mandates of the State Water Code, the State of Hawaii Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR) are continually striving to expand the knowledge of aquatic biota in Hawaiian streams. Products from this effort include the compilation and publication of an Atlas of Hawaiian Watersheds and Their Aquatic Resources for five of the eight major islands in the state (Kauai, Hawaii, Oahu, Molokai, and Maui). Each atlas describes watershed and stream features, distribution and abundance of stream animals and insect species, and stream habitat use and availability. The data presented in the atlases are collected from various sources, and much of the stream biota data are from stream surveys conducted by DAR.
