“…Their work examined the trade-offs among multiple objectives including economic efficiency, equity, ease of implementation and administration, along with environmental concerns. Tisdell and Harrison (1992) proposed a water market procedure using game theory. Their goal was to understand how regulatory agencies could allocate water to promote its equitable distribution.…”

The world's fresh water resources are unequally distributed both in time and in space. Until recently water resource management focused on reallocating water to when and where it was required, a supply-side or fragmented approach. Nowadays there are signs that water resource availability is dwindling-due to both population growth and increased per capita water use-and ecosystems are being damaged. To face this challenge a new holistic approach is needed. This approach includes the integrated or conjunctive use of surface and groundwater resources and takes account of social, economic and environmental factors. Moreover, it recognizes the importance of water quality issues.In this context, the paper examines the main aspects and problems concerned with the planning, design, construction and management of conjunctive use of surface and subsurface water resources, along with its environmental impacts and constraints to sustainable development. The importance and role of research thrust, technology transfer, institutional strengthening, effective partnerships between governments and stakeholders, and sound financial frameworks are also examined. Finally, the challenges and benchmarks for future actions that the scientific community and planners have to face and deal with, are briefly outlined.

Jusqu'à ces dermiers temps la gestion des ressources de l'eau se fixait sur la redistribution de l'eau vers l'endroit et le temps de besoin, une approche de l'offre et fragmentaire. Actuellement on remarque que la disponibilité des ressources des eaux diminue-à cause de la croissance de la population et de l'usage augmenté de l'eau par personne-et lesécosystèmes se détériorent. Pour faire faceà cetteépreuve on a besoin d'une nouvelle approche holistique. Cette approche inclut l'usage integré ou combiné des eaux de surface et souterraines et prend en compte les facteurs sociaux,économiques etécologiques. De plus, elle reconnaît l'importance des questions de la qualité des eaux.Dans ce contexte, cet article examine les aspects et les problèmes principaux en ce qui concerne la planification, le dessin, la construction et la gestion de l'usage combiné des eaux de surface et souterraines avec ses impacts sur l'environment et ses contraintes au développement viable. L'importance et le rôle de l'aspect principal de la recherche, des transfert technologiques, du renforcement des institutions, des collaborations efficaces entre les gouvernements et acteurs, et les de solides structures financières sontégalement examinée.

“…This trade process to achieve a cooperative water allocation under certain water balance and hydrological constraints is essentially a cooperative water allocation game. The payoff vector is called an imputation to the cooperative game, and meets the conditions of individual rationality, group rationality and joint efficiency (Young et al, 1982;Tisdell & Harrison, 1992): Individual rationality: Individual and group rationality…”

“…To achieve equitable and efficient water allocation requires the cooperation of all stakeholders in sharing water resources. Cooperative game theory can be utilized to study the fair allocation of common pool resources (Owen, 1995), and has been applied to the following types of problems in water resources management: (1) cost allocation of water resources development projects, including joint waste water treatment  * Corresponding author: lfang@ryerson.ca and disposal facilities (Giglio and Wrightington, 1972;Dinar and Howitt, 1997), and water supply development projects (Young et al, 1982;Driessen & Tijs, 1985;Harrington, 1990, 1991;Dinar et al, 1992;Lejano & Davos, 1995;Lippai & Heaney, 2000); (2) equitable allocation of waste loads to a common receiving medium Okada and Mikami, 1992); and (3) allocation of water rights (Tisdell & Harrison, 1992). There are only a limited number of models employing cooperative game theory in water allocation, and these models have none or else simple hydrological constraints.…”

“…There are only a limited number of models employing cooperative game theory in water allocation, and these models have none or else simple hydrological constraints. Tisdell and Harrison (1992) use a number of different cooperative games to model the efficient and socially equitable reallocation of water among six representative farms in Queensland, Australia. Rogers (1969) uses linear programming to compute the optimum benefits of six strategies of India and East Pakistan (acting singly or in cooperation) in the international Ganges-Brahmaputra river basin, and then analyzes the strategies by a nonzero-sum game for the two countries.…”

Water Resources Allocation: A Cooperative Game Theoretic Approach

ABSTRACT. Water allocation is essentially an exercise in allocating available water to various demanding users. Water allocations merely based on a water rights approach usually do not make efficient use of water for the whole river basin. Meanwhile, an economic efficient water allocation plan cannot be well implemented if the involved participants or stakeholders do not regard it as being fair. A cooperative game theoretic approach is proposed to solve water allocation problems in two steps: (1) initial allocation of water rights to water users or stakeholders based on existing water rights systems or agreements, and (2) reallocation of water to achieve efficient use of water through water transfers. An illustrative example is utilized to show the effectiveness and potential advantages of this approach.

“…Dales [10] explained the emission right market in detail and Krawczyk [11] utilized the coupling constraint game model to analyze emission distribution and production situations of only three participants in order to prove the existence of Nash Equilibrium for emission behaviors and get its solutions. Tisdell, Harrison [12], Becker [13] and Bielsa [14] took advantage of game model to imitate conflicts' non-cooperative and cooperative behaviors and distributed equally benefits brought by cooperation based on the comparison of different behavior benefits. Spullber et al [15] and Weber et al [16] believed accumulative effect is existed in pollutant transfer and diffusion.…”
