Mapping the Colorado Basin Rou ndtable’s Water Policy Networks <br />Introduction <br />In an attempt to shift the way water conflicts are “settled”, the Colorado legislature in 2005 <br />st <br />passed HB05-1177, (the “Water for the 21 Century Act”), which created nine water basin <br />roundtables and one Interbasin Compact Committee (Figure 1). <br />Per the enabling statutes, goals of this formalized process include creating “locally driven, <br />collaborative solutions to water supply challenges” (37-75-104(1)(a), C.R.S.) and ultimately <br />ensuring the “equitable division of the state’s <br />waters” (Colorado House Bill 05-1177). The <br />Figure A. HB05-1177 Water Basins <br />water roundtable process demonstrates the <br />growing recognition that comprehensive <br />water planning efforts must include a wide <br />range of stakeholders, representing diverse <br />interests including environment, agriculture, <br />recreation, local domestic water providers, <br />industry, and owners of water rights. <br />Collaborative decision-making structures like <br />the roundtables have tremendous potential, <br />but they also suffer from the complexity of <br />interpersonal and interest-based stakeholder <br />1 <br />interactions. <br />Survey Focus <br />Approximately 18 months into the roundtable pr ocess, this survey was implemented with one <br />roundtable, the Colorado Basin Roundtable, to begin to understand how the process is working <br />across a number of key dimensions: <br />Who views the process as successful and who does not? <br />Is the process engaging a broad range of stakeholders, both by demographics, but <br />also by values, beliefs, and desired outcomes from the process? <br />Where do influence, trust, shared beliefs, and opportunities for successful <br />collaboration exist within the networks of water stakeholders involved and not <br />involved in the roundtable process? <br />This study of the Colorado Basin Roundtable asked questions about important issues related to <br />how roundtable members and other water stakeholders connect to one another, including: <br />Desired outcomes that respondents hope to achieve through the roundtable process <br />for themselves and their organizations, as well as the outcomes they desire for the <br />roundtable process as a whole. <br />Priorities that respondents hope the roundtable process will address. <br />Progress that respondents believe the roundtables have made on specific activities. <br />Communication networks that exist between Color ado Basin Roundtable members <br />and with water stakeholders in other roundtables as well as outside the roundtable <br />process. <br /> <br />For more information about the water roundtable process please visit: http://ibcc.state.co.us/ . <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Colorado Institute of Public Policy 8 of 64 <br />
