Public Participation in Water Planning in the Ebro River Basin (Spain) and Tucson Basin (U.S., Arizona)

The benefits of public participation in water management are recognized by governments, scholars, and stakeholders. These benefits, however, do not result from all engagement endeavors. This leads to the question: What are the determinants for effective public participation? Given a list of criteria...
