I think I answered my own question as I just read this from Daniel:
"Fortunatly finding water in hawaii is very easy. The water table will always be found at sea level or a few inches above sea level. So to know how deep your well will be, all you need to know is your elevation. To help us find an approximate elevation we use USGS elevation maps and a percision surveying altimiter. We usually decline any wells deeper than four hundred feet. As far as salt water, intrusion has not been a problem. There has been two wells in hpp that had a high cloride level. "
