Such customs were analyzed in both their past and present contexts, and are documented to provide possible insights into more effective systems of acquiring and maintain- ing a sufficient supply of freshwater on Guam.

  • Nutrient Chemistry of the Coastal Waters of Guam
    Micronesica 24(1): 109-135, 1991 Nutrient Chemistry of the Coastal Waters of Guam ERNEST A. MATSON Department of Natural Sciences and Marine Laboratory The University of Guam, UOG Station, Mangilao, Guam 96923 Abstract-Concentrations of nitrate+ nitrite (NO.), reactive phosphate (RP), silica, iron, and chloride in Guam's aquifer, rivers, and coastal waters have been surveyed at various sites between February 1988 and September 1990. Nearshore waters to leeward (west coast) are enriched several fold over those to windward, and are more rapidly depleted and attain lower concentrations with distance from shore. Also, waters within 0.1 km of shore are enriched in NO. and Si- over those 0.5 to 8 km offshore, especially to leeward. River plumes, essentially all of which occur within a 10 km region, rarely discharge past the reef crest, except during rain that lasts several days. Sills at river mouths shoreward of reef moats entrain terrigenous material in the oligohaline zone that is recycled through estuarine plankton. Total annual runoff from the southern rivers that drain the lateritic southern province is approxi­ mately equal to aquifer leakage from the equally-sized northern car­ bonate plateau. Because the two terrains have distinct geochemical prop­ erties, both the type and amount of nutrients delivered to the coastal zones of each province are quite different. Further, individual aquifer subbasins have distinct Si-/CI- fields. As a result, significant differences in biological community structure and production may occur between windward and leeward sides as well as between lateritic and carbonate provinces, but dramatic physical differences between the two coasts makes testing of hypotheses extremely difficult.
