Spanish term or phrase: relación más directa con los recursos hídricos de un territorio
Hello again,

From a climate change study conducted by a Basque organisation I'm translating into US English. I’d love to hear how you’d handle this, so please feel free :)

Here’s the term in context:

“En este sentido, proponemos el modelo de Cuenca Hidroeconómica como una herramienta no solo de análisis y gestión de los impactos del cambio climático en el conjunto del territorio analizado con el sistema socioeconómico que engloba, sino como herramienta de gestión estratégica y prospectiva al servicio de las empresas del clúster del “sector hidrológico” compuesto por aquellas empresas que tienen una relación más directa con los recursos hídricos de un territorio. En la medida en que las empresas que utilizan esta información están contribuyendo a la gestión territorial de los recursos hídricos en un modelo de sostenibilidad territorial, están a su vez incorporando principios de Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE) en su sentido más amplio vinculado al concepto de sostenibilidad como gestión y armonización de los ámbitos económico, social y ambiental de un sistema. (Bernal et al., 2012).”

agree  Karen Chalmers: I think 'linked' is best - it has broader scope and better incorporates the sociological implications, 'connected' is more ambiguous and could be interpreted as plumbing.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Muriel, I'll be selecting your answer shortly, but just thought I'd ask what you think of "companies that are <u>more</u> directly involved" before I do that. It seems clumsy to me, and I don't really get it. Do you think it might be something like "heavily involved" maybe?

Asker: Or do you think it means: "companies that are moST directly involved"?
