| Note générale : |
Ground-water reservoirs impounded by volcanic dikes receive a substantial part of the total recharge to ground water on the Island of Oahu because they generally underline the rainiest areas. These reservoirs accumulate the infliltration from rainfall, store it temporarily, and steadily leak it to abutting basal reservoirs or to streams cutting into them. The dike reservoirs have high hydraulic heads and are mostly isolated from saline water. The most important and productive of the dike-impounded reservoirs are in on area of about 135 square miles in the main fissure zone of the Koolau volcano where the top of the dike-impounded water reaches an altitude of at least 1,000 feet. |
