Rivers and Watersheds
How RESOLVE Can Help
Over the past 30 years, RESOLVE has developed a strong
reputation among clients and stakeholders in the water policy
area because of our success in bringing parties to agreement
while also facilitating shared learning. Our Rivers and
Watersheds Practice builds on our deep and diverse collective
expertise dealing with water policy issues, as well as our
commitment to helping participants build their capacity to more
effectively address controversial issues without outside
assistance in the future. Our Rivers and Watersheds practice
encompasses three main themes:
- Watershed Planning and Restoration - Helping
stakeholders, agencies, states, and tribes find ways to
protect, enhance, or restore the ecological integrity of
watersheds, to ensure high quality wildlife habitat and
ecosystem services for human communities at a community and
regional scale.
- Water Quality - Helping stakeholders collaborate
to develop strategies and action plans for cleaning up and
protecting water quality in the nation’s waterways.
- Water Supply, Quantity and Storage - Helping
affected parties effectively manage water storage, flow, and
allocation issues, especially those associated with climate
change, groundwater management, and water re-use.
The Mission of RESOLVE’s Rivers and Watersheds Practice is
twofold:
- To help stakeholders build agreement on water-related
problems by providing impartial facilitation, mediation, and
consulting services; and
- To help stakeholders enhance their respective capacities
to make well-informed choices about when and how to use
consensus-based processes in addressing issues related to
rivers and watersheds, and to enable them to participate
effectively in such processes when that is the chosen
problem-solving approach.
