SOLICITATION OF STAKEHOLDER INPUT TO WORK PRODUCTS

Background
The Santa Clara Valley Water District is developing watershed stewardship plans for Guadalupe, Lower Peninsula and the West Valley areas. We believe that these plans would go a long way towards fostering interagency cooperation and communication for collaborative problem-solving; the stakeholders, those that live and work in and around these watersheds, possess profound insights and knowledge that would benefit the planning process.

To that end, we invite you to participate in the watershed stewardship planning process and to offer you various ways to provide us with your input. As a way of facilitating your input, we have developed web-based comment forms that feeds into a database where all comments can be tracked. We encourage you to use this web-based comment process.
