FOREWORD <br /> The purpose of this Flood Hazard Analyses Report is to provide <br /> state and local units of government with basic technical data <br /> <br /> - concerning the flooding problems and possible solutions for the South <br /> Kona area. The report provides the following data: <br /> 1. Identifies 25 watercourses that have caused floodwater <br /> damages. <br /> 2. Establishes elevation-discharge relationships for each <br /> watercourse for the 10-year, 50-year, 100-year, and 500-year <br /> frequency flood events. <br /> 3. Delineates the flood hazard area of each watercourse for the <br /> 100-year and S00-year flood events on topographic maps <br /> (Flood Hazard Maps). <br /> 4. Presents recommendations for alleviating current and future <br /> floodwater damages. <br /> The above data will provide a basis for the enactment of sound flood <br /> plain management and land use programs. <br /> This report was prepared by the Soil Conservation Service, U.S. <br /> Department of Agriculture, in cooperation with the Kona Soil and <br /> Water Conservation District, County of Hawaii, and the State <br /> Department of Land and Natural Resources. <br /> <br />
