Abstract:

This Coastal and Hydraulics Engineering Technical Note CHETN reviews the development of a regional sediment budget for the Kekaha Region on the Island of Kauai, HI, as part of the Hawaii Regional Sediment Management RSM initiative funded by the US Army Corps of Engineers USACE RSM Program. This document discusses the methodology used for determining sediment transport rates, and presents final rates for each littoral cell.
