Abstract
Public involvement in resource protection is necessary for many resource entities and initiatives, yet public response is often confrontational, apathetic or non-existent. An alternative process that promotes greater ownership and involvement in planning was offered to participants within the existing state water protection planning guidelines leading to state plan certification. Four rural, traditionally independent north-central Idaho communities located within an Indian Reservation participated in a water protection planning study. Case studies suggest willingness and preference on the part of communities to use government data, technical expertise and recommendations when given control of the planning process. This work provides new information on improving community involvement within existing regulatory frameworks.
