Water Allocation Strategies for the Kat Basin in South Africa : Comparing Negotiation Tools and Game Theory Models

Governments and developing agencies promote participatory approaches in solving common pool resource problems, such as in the water sector. Two main participatory approaches have been applied separately, namely negotiation and mediation. In this paper the authors apply the Role-Playing Game that is...
