The Oahu water management plan is intended to ensure:
(1) The optimum utilization of the existing water supply to minimize the need for the development of additional potable groundwater sources;
(2) The preservation of the aquifers for the benefit of future generations, in perpetuity, by proper management of Oahu’s groundwater sources;
(3) The timely development of additional potable groundwater sources and alternative sources to provide for additional consumer demand; and
(4) That growth in consumer demand will be compatible with available water supply.
