Abstract
Involving the public in critical water
resources decisions affecting environmental health of a
community is becoming a key component of a water
resource manager's role. New regulations such as
National Pollution Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) Phase II MS4 permit program require public
participation and outreach. But, just as important is
the stakeholder's effectiveness in assisting the
manager in achieving the bottom-line — clean water.
Numerous water resources management plans have
been written and stored on shelves, remaining
unimplemented for various reasons. Often the reasons
are insufficient funds or insufficient political and
community support. A comprehensive public outreach
program can help overcome these barriers.
