The Monitoring Section of the State of Hawaii, Department of Health, Clean Water Branch collected water quality samples at six sites near the mouth of streams and from the surf line along Bellows Beach, Oahu, Hawaii using well-established instruments and methodologies. This dataset spans 1992-1999. This was a special project beyond the routine state-wide monitoring program.
The Clean Water Branch (CWB) protects the public health of residents and tourists who enjoy recreating in and around Hawaii's coastal and inland water resources. The CWB also protects and restores inland and coastal waters for marine life and wildlife. This is accomplished through statewide coastal water surveillance and watershed-based environmental management through a combination of permit issuance, monitoring, enforcement, sponsorship of polluted runoff control projects, and public education.
