Dialogue on Financing Wastewater and Stormwater Infrastructure in Delaware
The Governor of Delaware determined the need for identifying predictable sources of funding for both wastewater and stormwater and, within that statewide need, addressing regional differences in both needs and resources. With the assistance of Lt. Governor John Carney, Chair of the Livable Delaware Advisory Council, the Governor’s Office, and DNREC staff, DPPI organized and convened a policy dialogue of stakeholders from across the state.

Published July 9th, 2008There is a general consensus that the rate, efficiency, and effectiveness of linking research to decision making must be enhanced. Many reports have touched on this issue, but very few documents provide details or assign responsibility to drive the interactions that most agree should happen. As a result, many natural science programs ‘‘talk the talk’’ but few ‘‘walk the walk’’. In this paper we will review the cultural conflict that underlies disagreements about collaborative research, offer details on the basic ingredients required to achieve a minimum standard for collaborative research, suggest an approach for determining the appropriate level of support for collaborative research and recommend specific steps for motivating scientists and stakeholders to participate in collaborative research.
