Projected changes in recharge for two future climate scenarios

This simplified image is from USGS SIR 2019-5064, fig. 12. Projected change in mean annual groundwater recharge for two future climate scenarios for the island of Maui, Hawai‘i. (top) SD RCP8.5 2071-99 future scenario from Elison Timm and others (2015), (bottom) HRCM A1B 2080-99 future scenario from Zhang and others (2016b). Projected changes are relative to mean annual recharge during a 1978-2007 present-day scenario. Projected change in recharge is shown using a spectral color scale with red representing greatest decreases in recharge and dark blue representing greatest increases in recharge.
