The Social Indicators Research Project Information for Researchers
Watershed Selection
Watersheds were selected based on having the following five criteria:
Agricultural,
Significant water quality impairment,
Sufficient resources available to implement best practices to address water quality impairments,
A strong history of stakeholder involvement and participatory watershed plan development, and
Groups or project leaders willing to work with the project team in a collaborative manner to develop education, outreach, and incentive programs.
Major Phases in the Project
During the project watershed groups, coordinators and project research teams will work together in four phases: (1) identify social factors that impede and enable behavior change; (2) develop interventions that address these social factors; (3) implement interventions in one subwatershed in each watershed; (4) evaluate the impact and effectiveness of interventions.
