Summary
This paper presents a method based on a participatory approach involving a decision support system and a simulation game to improve discussion between actors and to facilitate the emergence of acceptable compromise solutions in water management. An example is provided of howthe method can be applied using data froman irrigated perimeter in Tunisia.
This is a good example of a conflict between dam managers, farmers and administration concerning water allocation. First, we present the global model with results from a number of scenarios. Thenwe present a simulation gaming developed to rapidly construct scenarios in collaboration with decision-makers.
