Phase I Final Report
For six months throughout 2012, 20 participants representing a wide swath of stakeholder groups — government agencies, environmental organizations, engineers, fishermen, local governments, recreation, water contractors, and farmers — came together for a “different kind of dialogue.” The goal was to develop trust and shared understanding as a mechanism to move forward on water issues facing the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
Journalist, Joe Mathews, recounts the tale of how the Delta Dialogues came about, presenting a compelling, no-holds-barred account of what happened throughout this process, its successes and failures, and the impact it had on its participants.
