Date:	March 23, 2009 (Mon)   14:00-15:30
Venue:	Seminar room 3.4, Research Institute for Humanity and Nature access
Speaker:	Dr.Kimbery Burnett (University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization)
Title:	Optimal Managemnt of a Coastal Aquifer with Near-Shore Marine Ecological Interactions
Language:	English

Abstract:

  We optimize groundwater management in the presence of marine consequences of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD). Concern for marine biota increases the optimal steady-state head level of the aquifer. The model is discussed in general terms for any coastal groundwater resource where SGD has a positive impact on valuable near-shore resources. Our application focuses of the Kona Coast of Hawai’i, where SGD is being actively studied and where both near-shore ecology and groundwater resources are serious socio-political issues. To incorporate the consequences of water extraction on nearshore resources, we impose a safe minimum standard for the quantity of SGD. Efficient water management under the safe minimum standard limits trajectories of water extraction while preserving the availability of the keystone species and the potential value of related ecological services.
