The primary goal of the "Connecting Communities" Innovation Working Group was to create innovations in communication at the interface between natural and social science related to acequia community hydrology, ecology, culture and economics. It was also agreed that involving the acequia communities in this IWG would be critical for (i) reaching integrated understanding of the systems; (ii) bringing together academic disciplines and (iii) creating useful extension products for those most affected by this research.
