Stakeholder Engagement to Advance Urban Water Initiatives

Our team identifies and creates opportunities to engage diverse stakeholders in meetings and workshops at the Texas A&M AgriLife Center in Dallas, in communities across the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, and in urban centers across Texas. Collaboration with local stakeholders in urban water systems is critical to co-creating responsive and impactful research and extension programs for urban water solutions that will advance economic and environmental sustainability across the state. This adaptive approach employs stakeholder-driven strategies to better identify how our researchers and extension personnel can support the community and ensure a sustainable urban water future.
The Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex provides a critical place to examine the epic challenge of urban water systems in a fast-growing metropolitan area under dynamic water-climate conditions. Therefore, our efforts are strategically aligned with regional needs while engaging larger scientific communities across the globe, working at the forefront of urban water sustainability.
