Hana SWCD

Physical Setting

The Hana SWCD is located at the eastern tip of the Island of Maui. The area is dominated by the 10,025-foot Mount Haleakala, a dormant volcano, whose eastern slopes are characterized by rough, rocky land with gradual soil changes down to the low-lying coastal area of Hana. Basal ground water occurs in the Hana District.
