Dataset Identification:
Resource Abstract:
- description: A database was developed in support of the conventional hydropower assessment that included more than 50 site-specific
economic and environmental/social criteria. All of the data collected, along with the original source references, is also
available as an electronic Excel spreadsheet that can be sorted depending on criteria. This data is cross-referenced as a
GIS shapefile, which is available from the Honolulu USACE. The geospatial data allows users to geographically and visually
sort projects based on any of the selected fields including island, size, scale, incremental energy cost, location, etc. The
information provided allows the USACE, State, County, and private developers to analyze potential hydropower sites based on
their needs and interests. This information is available as Appendix A, and provides complete site descriptions, additional
caveats, and details about the original documents describing the sites. Please note that the geospatial locations of existing
and proposed hydropower plants varying in accuracy. Certain sites are placed on known XY coordinate locations (e.g. existing
powerplants) while others simply make reference to a certain valley or area on the island. Please review the 'Source
of Geospatial Data' attribute column for more information. Please note that user-friendly aliases are available in the
attribute table when opening the MXDs in this data package. These column aliases provide more information on the data entries
as well as units of measurement. The user is also referred to Appendix A of the Technical Appendix which presents this database
in an accessible MS Excel format.; abstract: A database was developed in support of the conventional hydropower assessment
