Makua and Lualualei Investigations. 



Accompanying the Superintendent of Forestry, the writer in- 

 vestigated the water resources of the upper Makua and Lualualei 

 valleys on Oahu during the early part of the month. A copy of 

 the report relative thereto is attached hereto. 



Flood Storage Investigation. 



At the request of the Governor of Hawaii an investigation 

 of flood water storage possibilities in the upper North Wailua, 

 Kapaa, and Anahola valleys of Kauai was begun on June 30th. 



Operation and Maintenance Work. 



Only routine stream, ditch, and rainfall measurement and sta- 

 tion and trail maintenance work was carried on during the month 

 on the various islands. 



On Kauai, W. V. Hardy visited 29 stream and ditch and 6 

 rainfall measurement stations, and made 24 measurements. Two 

 new measurement stations were established on the Makaweli 

 River and the Kamenehune ditch. D. E. Horner was seriously ill 

 during the greater part of the month. 



On Oahu 34 stream and ditch and 4 rainfall measurement sta- 

 tions were visited and 29 measurements were made. Twenty- 

 three stream and ditch measurement stations in the Kailua, Ka- 

 neohe, and Heeia valleys which have been maintained in coopera- 

 tion with private corporations in the past were discontinued. The 

 cooperating corporations considered the past records as sufficient 

 for their purposes. 



On Maui 28 stream and ditch and one rainfall measurement 

 stations were visited, and 18 measurements were made. 



Very respectfully, 



G. K. Larrison, 

 Superintendent of Hydrography.
