This word cloud was developed from comments and discussions from our in-person workshops. Even though strengths and weaknesses were discussed separately, workshop participants agreed that many factors could be considered both a strength and a weakness. For example, “water” is an abundant resource in the region and is a strength, but is also a threat when considered in the context of flood risk or stormwater runoff. Please note: word size indicates the frequency that this term was discussed during the workshop (i.e. the larger the word, the more it was discussed); word color is only for legibility.

Based off DRB2070 workshop discussions throughout the watershed, we drafted this statement to summarize the regional vision of current strengths in the Delaware River Basin:

This is a word cloud developed from comments and discussions from our in-person workshops. Like the strengths and weaknesses word cloud you saw before, this graphic represents both future threats and opportunities together. Remember that our forecast time frame extends out to 2070, so we encourage you to think creatively about what the long term future may hold.

Below is a list of potential development catalysts that we have identified for the DRB. A development catalyst is something that will stimulate population growth, economic growth, or land development.

Below is a list of potential catalysts for future land protection that we have identified for the DRB. A catalyst for land protection is something that will lead to more protected land, such as land preservation programs or incentives to redevelop existing urban land.

Below are some example scenarios that we are considering developing for the DRB. Land use scenarios are stories about how a region may change over time. They begin by describing what and where the region is today and they continue by recognizing the range of plausible choices that communities and stakeholders might make about how land, water, and other resources will be used. Because different stakeholder interests can be competing interests, there is great value in exploring multiple land use scenarios to visualize the range of possible futures and evaluate tradeoffs among them.
