Mapping the Colorado Basin Rou ndtable’s Water Policy Networks <br /> Elected or appointed officials were more likely to report that only dialogues between <br />roundtables have been successful. <br /> Government affiliations were the most li kely to feel the roundtable has been somewhat <br />successful in accomplishing their goals; and <br /> Agriculture and special district affiliations were the least likely to believe that the <br />8 <br />roundtable has been successful in achieving their goals. <br />Members with different affiliations may be more or less likely to see success as due to having <br />different priorities for the roundtable or having been actively involved in different components of <br />the roundtable process. For example, one interpretation of the environmental and recreational <br />members who reported success with dialogue in the roundtable may be that they are feeling <br />encouraged by roundtable conversations that include non-consumptive needs. Additionally, <br />their positive view of outreach to other stakeholders may be due to the strong networks they <br />already have in the environmental community. The Colorado Basin Roundtable members who <br />hold formal elected roles on the roundtable were significantly more likely to believe the <br />roundtable has been successful at fostering collaboration across basins. This may be because <br />they are more aware of the outcomes of the process due to their level of involvement inside and <br />outside the Colorado Basin Roundtable. <br />Table 3.1: Colorado Basin Roundtable Members’ Average Perceptions of their <br />* <br />Roundtable’s Success at Meeting their Goals and Undertaking Specific Activities <br /> <br />Strongly Agree <br />Agree <br />Neither Agree <br /> or Disagree <br />Disagree <br /> Strongly Disagree <br />Members of some clusters were more likely to report that the Colorado Basin Roundtable has <br />not been successful than members of other clusters, but the patterns of responses were not <br />particularly strong or consistent.
