We hypothesize that issues of community participation, the process by which the leaders of the initiative try to organize community members to protect water quality, will be the more important variables in success or failure of community based water quality protection. Our model will test that hypothesis. As has been demonstrated above, there are a plethora of approaches available to community organizers to guide them in developing an inclusive process that will build the long term civic capacity in drinking water protection. Guiding principles from the literature above are that the participatory process ought attempt to include a wide range of stakeholders and address issues from multiple perspectives. Ultimately, while the impetus for the initiative may be the protection of drinking water, the issues that will need to be addressed should be multi-objective in scope—as water is central to quality of life, issues of community development, growth, agriculture and natural resources and all of these issues will come into the fray of decision making about how to protect water. It will be the challenge of organizers to move projects forward while addressing these linkages. At the same time, water quality is ultimately an issue that forces a recognition of connections and interactions. The initiative will have to be nested in the local context, but capable of making connections across political boundaries to ensure good management. It is our hope the indicators above address these distinctions, and provide a widely applicable guide for 26 understanding the process of community organization around water quality protection.
