Abstract
Collier and Schulman discuss the importance of trustworthy engagement in the water world. There is a need is to build trust to go beyond regulation and help the local community own the issue. In the Delaware River Basin, which covers portions of New York, Pennsylvania, Newjersey, and Delaware, the William Penn Foundation kick-started the Delaware River Watershed Initiative, a project that looks to create these enabling conditions for watershed action that will culminate in water-quality improvements across the basin. It is based on a backbone of science, but the glue consists of collaboration, engagement, and trust building. All individuals should have the opportunity to understand their local environment, how it fits into the larger system, and the impact of their own footprint. We can help accomplish that through trustworthy engagement.
