The link in the article
http://www.worldwaterforum6.org/en/commissions/thematic/#thematic-framework
(Read through this link.  For those of your following the flow charts of UN/Stakeholder-driven processes, click around, see how the Delta stuff's underlying drivers are UN based.  Look at the relationships of the NGO's/Stakeholders to the corporate and political movers and shakers and their direct participation/influence into our water issues.

And please remember, private citizens, land and property owners are NEVER 'stakeholders'; generally, we are the 'stakes' that have been erroneously claimed by squatters.)
