Abstract

This dataset contains interview data collected from policy makers and water managers in Utah. Interviews were conducted in 2013. Questions focused on water management challenges related to drought preparedness, climate change, population growth, urbanization, and water transfers, as well as water managers' modeling and information needs. Due to privacy concerns, interview transcripts are not provided. More details on the results of the interviews may be found here:

Additional Metadata

Name	Value
Variable Description	Data are primarily textual and qualitative in nature.
Data Collection Method	Interviewees were identified through reputational and snowball sampling. Two interviewers attended each interview in most instances. Interviews lasted between 45 minutes and 3 hours. Interviews were digitally recorded with permission of the interviewees. Recordings were professionally transcribed verbatim.
Data Processing Method	Each transcript was manually coded independently by two researchers to ensure inter-coder reliability. Transcripts were analyzed using a three-step coding scheme: 1) identification of major themes with comparisons between the coders to produce a codebook; 2) use of codebook to organize key ideas and identify sub-themes within the initial set of themes; and 3) identification of direct quotes to highlight themes and subthemes.
