SWS/ Stakeha/der Process
~~I~r~do Vtl~t~r ~~n~enr~ti~~ ~~~rd (C'VVCB} - The
CWCB includes representatives from each river basin, as
well as key state policy makers. CWCB reviewed
information from the Basin Roundtable Technical
Meetings and Public Information Meetings, and provided
crucial input on the development of planning objectives
and strategies for achieving the objectives and
implementing solutions.
Basin R~undt~bl~s - Basin Roundtable Technical
Meetings provided a forum for local interests (municipal
water providers, agricultural water districts, local
governments, state and federal governments, and
environmental and recreational interest groups) to review
and present water demand and supply information, help
guide the development of water management objectives
and performance measures, and exchange ideas on how
to meet the water needs of the region. The focus of these
Basin Roundtables, which met up to four times in each
river basin, was to develop consensus on specific water
resources issues. Basin Roundtable members' input was
used as the primary means of identifying, developing,
and evaluating water management solutions in SWSI.
Publi~ ~utr~a~h - The SWSI public outreach program
provided a forum specifically for presenting information to
the general public, and for obtaining feedback on the
process and conclusions. A series of Public Information
Meetings was held within each of the river basins near
the beginning of SWSI. A second round of Public
Information Meetings was held in conjunction with the
last round of Basin Roundtable Technical Meetings. In
addition, public comments were received at each Basin
~~
Roundtable Technical Meeting and at each CWCB Board
Meeting.
The members of the Basin Roundtables are shown in
Section 1.6, while Appendix B contains the Basin
Roundtable meeting schedules, agendas, and meeting
summaries. Appendix B also contains the Public
Information Meeting schedules and meeting summaries,
and contains the SWSI-related CWCB Board meeting
presentations.
9.2 Overview of Evaluation
Framework
The following terms were used to ensure that
stakeholders had a common language during the
planning process.
Objectlves The overarching interests in water
management - they define major
goals of water users in clear,
understandable terms
Pr~ferences Stakeholder values, specifically the
weights that they assign to each
objective, relative to the other
objectives
P~rformanc~ Indicators of how well the objectives
Measures are being achieved
Options The individual water supply projects
or management strategies that could
be implemented to meet the
objectives
F~mily af A grouping of similar types of options,
Options as described in Section 8
Aft~rnativ~s Combinations of options that appear
to best meet water management
objectives, which may be developed
in subsequent phases of SWSI
The overall evaluation framework is summarized in
Figure 9-2. This framework was conducted for each of
the eight basins.
