This toolbox suggests decisionmaking
tools for Reclamation
employees, contractors, sponsors, and other participants
in Reclamation decisions. These tools can help you reach
more effective, implementable, and supportable decisions.

Consciously selecting, adapting, and applying
tools helps:
- Elicit comments and ideas
- Keep the process on track
- Research and present sufficient, supportable data to
decisionmakers and publics
This will enable a confident, balanced decision--one that
can withstand the scrutiny of multiple publics and, if necessary,
the courts. |

Tips to Use the Toolbox

Tools are not ends in themselves, but

make better, more informed decisions. |
