The West Honolulu Watershed Study was a joint study between BWS, Army Corps of Engineers and State Dept. of Land and Natural Resources to provide a holistic, comprehensive analysis of watershed data, problems and issues and to conceptualize and describe potential watershed restoration projects and actions. The study area consists of the ahupua'a of Moanalua, Kahauiki, Kalihi, Kapalama, Nuuanu and Pauoa. The area encompasses approximately 33.5 square miles. The Central O'ahu Watershed Study is an overview of watershed information pertinent to the area and will be used by the Honolulu Board of Water Supply (BWS) to develop Watershed Management Plans for the Central O'ahu and 'Ewa Development Plan areas, and parts of the Primary Urban Center. Using this overview, resource problems and issues were identified. Potential projects and programs to remediate these issues were then investigated and outlined. The Ala Wai Watershed Study is a similar joint-agency management study involving the COE, DLNR, City Department of Environmental Services and BWS of the Ala Wai watershed is currently being conducted with similar objectives.
