The drainage basins of Tutuila are quite similar topographically and produce similar amounts of runoff. Hydropower is not feasible due to low or intermittent flow in streams.
This study of the baseline water quality in American Samoa covered the effects of wet and dry seasons and a variety of tide and weather conditions on water quality and exchange characteristics of several water classifications. Current measurements in the Tafuna area show a reversing tide related longshore current with net transport towards to the southwest.
The preservation of our environment is a vital and growing concern in the United States. This report is to assist in the implementation of the regulation of these areas, the U.S. Army Corps commissioned a survey and preparation of a report on the wetlands of American Samoa.
This booklet describes the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' role in water resources development and the Pacific Ocean Division and Honolulu Engineer District have been assissting the Government of American Samoa in the management and development of the territory's water resources. The "urbanization" of American Samoa and the accompanying desires for modern conveniences have placed heavy demands on the territory's fragile infrastructure, including its vital resource.
This report details a wide variety of beach aspects in American Samoa. That includes flood control, beach erosion, and environmental protection.
This report has been prepared by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for inclusion in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers American Samoa Water Resources study, and will contribute to the development of a comprehensive plan
This document details the appendices for the vulnerability assessment. It examines topics such as stakeholder summary notes, climate data inventory, sources, and relevant literature.
The data includes tide gauge readings from before 1950 until the present in Pago Pago.
Flask CO2 and isotopic data sets taken at American Samoa: Latitude 14.2°S Longitude 170.6°W Elevation 30m. These data are subject to revision based on recalibration of standard gases.
The Weather Research and Forecast model (WRF) utilizes triply-nested meshes with varying horizontal resolutions (20 km, 4 km, and 0.8 km) to cover tropical and subtropical regions. The atmospheric driving fields, sourced from NASA's Modern-Era Retrospective Analysis and NOAA's sea surface temperature, include variables like temperature, wind, geopotential height, and water vapor. The Pseudo-Global-Warming method incorporates global warming signals from 12 CMIP5 models for future runs, spanning from January 1st, 2080 to December 31st, 2099, under RCP4.5 and RCP8.5 scenarios.
This study investigates the status of giant clam populations, at Rose Atoll, Samoa, revealing its significance as a refuge with high clam densities and low mortality rates.
This report has been prepared by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for inclusion in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers American Samoa Water Resources study, and will contribute to the development of a comprehensive plan
