Environmental /Social Change

Occur when a societal and /or environmental condition Is improved due to a participant’s action taken in the previous column(long term)

Better use of monitoring dollars, cost share, and leveraging.

Better techniques for identification of water quality problems and impacts

EXTERNAL FACTORS / BARRIERS - A brief discussion of what variables have an effect on the program or project, including those which cannot be changed by managers of the program, or project. For example, a education of young researchers will depend on number students enrolled in a particular program.

ASSUMPTIONS - These are the premises based on theory, research, evaluation knowledge etc. that support the relationships of the elements shown above, and upon which the success of the portfolio, program, or project rests. For example, offering a water quality monitoring certification will facilitate behavior change in participants.

Occurs when there is a change in knowledge or the participants actually learn (short term):

Increased knowledge of water quality monitoring techniques

Increased understanding of water management practices and decision making factors

Improved understanding of data management and interpretation techniques
