Communication and coordination between the U.S. Geological Survey and other scientific and land- and water-management organizations are critical components of the NAWQA program. A successful study depends on the advice, cooperation, information from many Federal, State, regional, and local agencies, as well as the interested public. The Oahu NAWQA established a liaison committee that included representatives from agencies and organizations that have water-resource responsibilities and interests. Committee activities included the exchange of information about regional and local water-quality issues, identification of sources of data and information, assistance in site selection and in design and scope of study products, and the review of study planning documents and reports.    The following agencies and organizations were represented on the Oahu NAWQA Liaison Committee:    U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service Forest Service U.S. Environmental Protection Agency U.S. Army Garrison Hawaii, Directorate of Public Works U.S. Navy, Pearl Harbor U.S. Air Force, Hickam AFB U.S. Geological Survey, Biological Resources Division, Pacific Island Ecosystem Research Center State of Hawaii Department of Agriculture, Pesticides Program Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism Office of Planning Department of Health Clean Water Branch Environmental Planning Office Safe Drinking Water Branch Department of Land and Natural Resources Commission on Water Resource Management Division of Aquatic Resources City and County of Honolulu Department of Environmental Services Board of Water Supply Department of Planning and Permitting Honolulu Land Information System University of Hawaii Department of Agronomy and Soil Science Water Resources Research Center Department of Zoology Hawaii Agriculture Research Center
