• Defining features
1. Young limestone &
eogenetic karst
2. Freshwater-saltwater mixing
at base and margin of lens
3. Glacioeustasy has moved
the lens up and down
- Tectonic uplift and
subsidence may have also
occurred
- Still-stands affect aquifer

4. Basement-sea level-surface

and Estimated
Sustainable Yields
Reserve
Production
(1982 Study)80 mgd (1991 Study)
1982 SY Estimates
1998 Production
• 1982 Northern Guam Lens
Study: 57 MGD
– First comprehensive field, lab,
and geophysical study
– $1.2M, 3-year effort
– GEPA, WERI, CDM (Mink)
– Still the departure point….
• 1991 Update (Mink): 80 MGD
• Current fresh groundwater
production*: 43 mgd
– 54% of 1991 SY est.
- GWA: 37 (2010)
- AF: ~3 (2008)
- Navy: ~2 (2008)
- All others (private) ~1 (2008)
~20% recharge
~25% recharge
*GEPA database
~14% recharge
Having said
all that…
The Myth of
“Sustainable Yield”
The Myth of
“Sustainable
Yield”
• “Sustainable yield” as a percent of recharge is an old but persistent
misconception
– Still provides a useful “rule of thumb”…but it’s not the real determinant
• Thiess first pointed out the error in 1940
– Even today, even many hydrologists still don’t get it
– Recent papers by prominent hydrologists notwithstanding….
• One use of models is to help evaluate how pumping changes the system
– In terms of both quantity and quality
• But models cannot replace the need for observed data
– In fact, they require data—lots of it!
• Proper management
– Comes from observing the trends and responding according
– Requires effective inter-agency cooperation and decision-making
- Which requires an inter-agency framework for ongoing consultation
• Finally, it addresses only the supply question; overlooks the demand
aspect of water management
Economics of
Sustainability (101)
• Higher salinity is the natural
consequence of production
• Green* technologies seem at
first to be the obvious choice
– But they may be (and usually
are) more expensive…
- Unless the incremental cost
is lower in the long run…
• The affordable limit may change
– Upward if the economy is
growing…
• Regulatory limits should be
routinely re-examined
– And adjusted based on
observable or predictable
consequences…
• “Sustainable” really means
“economical”
– i.e., meeting the objective with
least expenditure of resources Production
Salinity regulatory limitCost
affordable limit
*Green = satisfies a particular environmental
objective that is widely acknowledged as desirable
vertical wells
tunnel wells
High start-up, high ops cost
desalination
Low and high
switch places
Sustainable
Use
• The old question….
– “What is the sustainable yield…?”
• Is the wrong question!
• The right question…?
– “How can we economically meet the potable water needs of the
entire community?”
- Demand—just as important as supply
– Pricing structure
– Conservation incentives
- Supply—how much of a given quality at a given cost?
– Alternative technologies…and their costs
– Modeling can help—if the model is accurate
– Is only as good as the data
– The right kinds of data, and enough of them
– Sufficiently accurate and precise to do the job….

  • 11. • Defining features 1. Young limestone & eogenetic karst 2. Freshwater-saltwater mixing at base and margin of lens 3. Glacioeustasy has moved the lens up and down - Tectonic uplift and subsidence may have also occurred - Still-stands affect aquifer development 4. Basement-sea level-surface relationships affect aquifer development 1. Simple 2. Carbonate covered 3. Composite 4. Complex Carbonate Island Karst
  • 13. Closed Depressions • Sinkholes and dolines • Structural control • Lithologic control • Quarries and ponding basins
  • 14. Recharge Features • Argillaceous vs. pure limestone aquifers • Distributed vs. concentrated recharge • Sinkholes, ponding basins, injection wells

  • 19. Having said all that… The Myth of “Sustainable Yield”
  • 20. The Myth of “Sustainable Yield” • “Sustainable yield” as a percent of recharge is an old but persistent misconception – Still provides a useful “rule of thumb”…but it’s not the real determinant • Thiess first pointed out the error in 1940 – Even today, even many hydrologists still don’t get it – Recent papers by prominent hydrologists notwithstanding…. • One use of models is to help evaluate how pumping changes the system – In terms of both quantity and quality • But models cannot replace the need for observed data – In fact, they require data—lots of it! • Proper management – Comes from observing the trends and responding according – Requires effective inter-agency cooperation and decision-making - Which requires an inter-agency framework for ongoing consultation • Finally, it addresses only the supply question; overlooks the demand aspect of water management
  • 21. Economics of Sustainability (101) • Higher salinity is the natural consequence of production • Green* technologies seem at first to be the obvious choice – But they may be (and usually are) more expensive… - Unless the incremental cost is lower in the long run… • The affordable limit may change – Upward if the economy is growing… • Regulatory limits should be routinely re-examined – And adjusted based on observable or predictable consequences… • “Sustainable” really means “economical” – i.e., meeting the objective with least expenditure of resources Production Salinity regulatory limitCost affordable limit *Green = satisfies a particular environmental objective that is widely acknowledged as desirable vertical wells tunnel wells High start-up, high ops cost desalination Low and high switch places
  • 22. Sustainable Use • The old question…. – “What is the sustainable yield…?” • Is the wrong question! • The right question…? – “How can we economically meet the potable water needs of the entire community?” - Demand—just as important as supply – Pricing structure – Conservation incentives - Supply—how much of a given quality at a given cost? – Alternative technologies…and their costs – Modeling can help—if the model is accurate – Is only as good as the data – The right kinds of data, and enough of them – Sufficiently accurate and precise to do the job….
