Kauai usually spelled Kauai outside the Hawaiian Islands and is the oldest of the main Hawaiian Islands. With an area of 552.3 square miles, it is the fourth largest of the main islands in the Hawaiian archipelago and the 21st largest island in the USA.

Known also as the "Garden Isle", Kauai lies 105 miles across the Kauai Channel, northwest of Oahu. Of volcanic origin, the highest peak on this mountainous island is Kawaikini at 5,243 feet. The second highest peak is Mount Waialeale near the center of the island, 5,148 feet above sea level.

Mount Waialeale (literally, "rippling water" or "overflowing water" in Hawaiian and also often spelt Waialeale in English without the okina), elevation 5,148 ft , is the second highest point on the island of Kauai i

Several factors give the summit of Waialeale more potential to create precipitation than the rest of the island chain:

1. Its northern position relative to the main Hawaiian Islands provides more exposure to frontal systems that bring rain during the winter.
2. It has a relatively round and regular conical shape, exposing all sides of its peak to winds and the moisture that they carry.
3. Its peak lies just below the so-called trade wind inversion layer of 6,000 feet (1,800 m), above which trade wind produced clouds cannot rise.
4. And most importantly, the steep cliffs cause the moisture laden air to rise rapidly - over 3,000 ft in less than half a mile - and drop a large portion of its rain in one spot, as opposed to spreading the rain out over a larger area if the slope were more gradual.

The Hanalei River on the Hawaiian island of Kauai flows north from eastern slopes Mount Waialeale for 17 miles until entering the Pacific Ocean at Hanalei Bay as an estuary. With a long-term mean discharge of 216 cubic feet per second, in terms of water flow it is the second largest river in the state; although its watershed of 19.1 square miles is only sixth largest on Kauai, it encompasses areas of the highest recorded rainfall on the planet and plunges precipitously from its headwaters at 3500 feet above sea level.
