Abstract

The major objective of the study is to develop and evaluate alternative plans that would reduce erosion and sediment damages in the Pearl Harbor Basin. Emphasis is placed on reducing sedimentation in Pearl Harbor because the harbor has been designated as the state's highest priority pollution problem by the Governor of Hawaii. The study consists of: (1) a general appraisal of the soil erosion, sedimentation, and flooding problems in the Pearl Harbor Basin and potentials for solution; (2) an analysis of present and proposed programs for agricultural, urban, and forested lands; (3) development of alternative plans to reduce erosion and sediment damages through conservation practices, structural measures and land use changes; and (4) an evaluation of the environmental and economic effects of the alternative plans. The Multiple Objective Planning and Evaluation procedure is used to evaluate the effects of the alternative plans. The beneficial and adverse effects of the alternatives on national economic development (NED), environmental quality (EQ), regional development (RD) and social well-being are displayed and provide a basis for comparing the alternatives.
