What are the communication goals for Public Involvement?
A.8. There is a heightened sense of awareness within the general public of the importance of water control plans due to the severity of the drought that has prevailed in this basin during 2007-2008 and its impact on people’s everyday lives and livelihoods. The following goals for public outreach and involvement for the WCP update process have been identified: • Increase awareness and understanding for the WCP process – its goals, limitations, purposes and integration with other basin operations (i.e. Hydro Power Projects). Provide timely information to the public regarding the WCP Team’s efforts. • Provide and promote effective intra- and interagency communication at the local, state and federal level. • Provide extensive opportunities to involve public and stakeholder participation in the WCP update throughout the decision-making process.
