Survey Results
Analyses: By Involvement

Respondents who claim high levels of involvement are likely to be a better position to influence policy changes and implement programs associated with the watershed. DEM could give more weight to the high priority topics and issues of this population and in so doing have a better chance of seeing the projects completed with investment and involvement from the watershed community.

Along those same lines, priorities from lesser-involved respondents could help us to see what might not be represented at the usual meetings and agendas.

1. All respondents favor Water Quality and Contaminated Sites in their top 4
2. Very involved and somewhat involved respondents have similar priorities (Water Quality, Public Health, Biodiversity, Contaminated Sites, Growth Planning) and these are similar to the aggregate ranking.
3. Uninvolved respondents favor Equity and Dams above more involved respondents and disregard Growth Planning almost entirely
