Mean annual water-budget components for the Island of Maui, Hawaii, for projected climate conditions, CMIP5 RCP8.5 2071-99 scenario rainfall and 2017 land cover

August 16, 2019

This shapefile represents the spatial distribution of mean annual water-budget components, in inches, for the Island of Maui, Hawaii for a projected climate condition representative of phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5 (RCP8.5) 2071-99 scenario rainfall and 2017 land cover, as described in USGS SIR 2019-5064. The water-budget components for each model subarea were computed for the future climate condition using a water-budget model developed by Johnson and others (2018). The 2017 land-cover map developed by Mair (2018) was used to define the land-cover conditions and the model subareas. The shapefile attribute information associated with each subarea (or polygon) present an estimate of mean annual rainfall, fog interception, irrigation, septic system leachate, seepage from reservoirs and cesspools, runoff, canopy evaporation, total evapotranspiration, and total recharge.
