Book Description

Drawing from collaborative planning, governance, and integrated water resources management literatures, as well as survey results from a study of SWP planning across the Upper Midwest, I assessed five SWP plans/programs in Ohio. Using a multiple-case study design to structure my analyses, I focused on SWP plans/programs for three groundwater and two surface water systems in Ohio. Document analysis and semi-structured interviews were conducted with public water system representatives for each case, as well as planners, zoning managers, and other relevant actors involved in SWP planning and management.
