The river basin game as a tool for collective water management at community level in South Africa (original) (raw)

2008, Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, Parts A/B/C

AI-generated Abstract

The river basin game (RBG) addresses irrigation water use efficiency and the access disparities between upstream and downstream users in South Africa. Developed initially as a teaching tool, the RBG now incorporates a groundwater component and has been tested in workshops involving small-scale farmers. Results indicate that it fosters understanding of water supply inequities and highlights the role of community-led solutions supported by formal institutions. The game serves as an effective tool for discussions and is recommended for broader application in the Olifants river basin.
