| Summary: | Water conflict is becoming an urgent problem over the world because of rapid economic
development leading to the rapid increase of water demand, and global climate change
to the decrease of water availability in season dry. This study is about water conflict
occurring in Vu Gia - Thu Bon river basin among three main water users: hydropower
reservoirs in upstream as well as an irrigation system and urban water supply in
downstream. In order to understand deeply their interactions, this study builds a game
theoretical model to describe the current conflict and their benefits in exploiting water.
From the general model, the practical model is calculated by secondary data and then is
modified with water right weight and average values. The initial results are that although
the profitability for the whole agricultural sector is the largest, the average value is
negligible. In contrast, the profitability of hydropower and water supply companies is
lower but more concentrated. In the perspectives of policymakers, it is essential to
analyse the movement of each player, consider the total payoff values and use control
variables as “refund” and “punishment” to adjust some water user’s behaviors. |
