Waianae Watershed Management Plan

The Board of Water Supply (BWS) and Department of Planning and Permitting (DPP), City and County of Honolulu, have completed the Waianae Watershed Management Plan (WWMP), which will be used to meet the requirement of the State Water Code and City Ordinance to prepare a county water use and development plan. Waianae is one of eight district plans that together will comprise the Oahu Water Management Plan.

Final Plan

The Waianae Watershed Management Plan was finalized in August 2009.

Goal

To formulate an environmentally holistic, community-based, and economically viable watershed management plan that will provide a balance between:

  • the preservation and restoration of Oahu's watersheds, and
  • sustainable ground water and surface water use and development to serve present users and future generations.
