Presentation

In the spirit of the SWAN Project’s transdisciplinary approach to science and in line with the attempt to involve practitioners from non academic sectors in new forms of collaborative research, we also consider it essential to include the perspectives of professionals from different sectors and stakeholder representatives. This chapter is devoted to their collective views and voices on water issues. The request to share their perspective was sent to a broad range of institutions. All of the seven individuals that agreed to share their perspectives - featured here - have been of invaluable assistance to the SWAN Project and to the students and researchers personally. We invited them to contribute a page on their impressions and views on the following issues: • Your vision of water management in the Tucson Basin, Arizona, and the Southwest in the coming years.
