You have entered the website of the Water and Environmental Research Institute of the Western Pacific (WERI) at the University of Guam. We are currently six faculty and five staff and our mission is to seek solutions through research, teaching and outreach programs, to issues and problems associated with the location, production, distribution and management of freshwater resources in Guam, the CNMI and the FSM.
No abstract was published. A summary of the Introduction follows.
This is the first annual report from WERI's Guam Hydrologic Survey (GHS) program on the status of hydrologic data collection on Guam. This report can also be accessed from the GHS website at http://uog2.uog.edu/weri/ghs/. Comments or suggestions can be directed to [email protected]. The GHS was established in September 1997 to "collect, organize, and evaluate data being collected by the Government of Guam and federal agencies regarding the availability and quality of fresh water on Guam, and maintain a centralized database of key hydrologic information". Six chapters comprise this report, covering the following types of data: meteorology; surface water; groundwater; tides; geology; and distribution systems. Each chapter presents information concerning participating agencies, their points of contact, their data collection and management methods, equipment, sampling locations, etc.
