The flow providers or constituents of the stream are primarily groundwater and direct precipitation, with some surface runoff from adjacent agricultural lands. The stream does not have any tributaries or dams that significantly affect its flow. The hydrology of the stream is seasonal, with peak flows occurring during the wet season from November to March. Interestingly, the stream has been known to exhibit “flashy” behavior, meaning that it can experience rapid and significant changes in flow due to heavy rainfall. This can cause the stream to quickly rise and fall, posing a danger to people in the area. Overall, the Paauau Gulch at Pahala, HI streamgauge is an important monitoring site for tracking stream flow and potential flood hazards in the Ka’u District.
