The Game Theory

In this study, aspects of Game theory and its application on water resources management combined with GIS techniques are detailed. First, each term is explained and the advantages and limitations of its aspect is discussed. Then, the nature of combinations between each pair and literature on the previous studies are given. Several cases were investigated and results were magnified in order to conclude with the applicability and combination of GIS- Game Theory- Water Resources Management. It is concluded that the game theory is used relatively in limited studies of water management fields such as cost/benefit allocation among users, water allocation among trans-boundary users in water resources, water quality management, groundwater management, analysis of water policies, fair allocation of water resources development cost and some other narrow fields. Also, Decision-making in environmental projects requires consideration of trade-offs between socio-political, environmental, and economic impacts and is often complicated by various stakeholder views. Most of the literature on water allocation and conflict problems uses traditional optimization models to identify the most efficient scheme while the Game Theory, as an optimization method, combined GIS are beneficial platforms for agent based models to be used in solving Water Resources Management problems in the further studies.

Allocation Method

Water trading is an effective method for efficient allocation of water resources, so it is essential to assess the potential impacts of water trading before the establishment of water rights trading market. The improved water rights allocation method may low down the uncertainty, although there is lots of uncertainty in the water trading for agriculture. This study compared the effects of two-part deployment method on economic profits of main crops by Game Theory method. The results show that water trading may optimally allocate water resources, moreover, the total free market could increase economic profits as far as possible; the more water users participating in water trading, the more profits the water trading can bring.
