Abstract
Agricultural water use is becoming an issue in much of the South due to population growth.
Results of projects evaluating the impacts of conservation strategies aimed at reallocating or
extending the life of water supplies are being met with great skepticism by stakeholder
groups. In order to gain acceptance of results, it is essential that stakeholder groups be
involved from the beginning in the identification of potential water conservation strategies
and be kept informed throughout the project. The objective of this paper is to review
previous attempts at involving stakeholders and the methodology currently being employed
in the Ogallala Aquifer Project.
