      <abstract>
        The Monitoring Section of the State of Hawaii, Department of Health,
Clean Water Branch collects water quality data at over 300 coastal
locations state-wide using well-established instruments and methodologies.
This dataset spans 1973-1998.  This dataset replaces NODC Accession 9800067
(Original STORET output format) with the new CSV format.
This new set also adds 1/1/1998-12/31/1998.

      <purpose>
        The Clean Water Branch (CWB) protects the public health of residents and
tourists who enjoy recreating in and around Hawaii&apos;s coastal and inland water
resources. The CWB also protects and restores inland and coastal waters for
marine life and wildlife. This is accomplished through statewide coastal water
surveillance and watershed-based environmental management through a
combination of permit issuance, monitoring, enforcement, sponsorship of
polluted runoff control projects, and public education.
