Evaluation of economic scenarios of water allocation using a game theory

Abstract Water allocation can be evaluated from various economic, environmental, food security, and climate aspects. This paper was conducted to develop an optimal water strategy with economic framework. A game theory has been used determine the planning structure. cooperative technique based on core solution, Shepley value, Nucleolus solution incorporated into decision-making system results of proposed model have calculated long-term information downstream cropping pattern in Zhanghe irrigation network, Hubei province, China. Five components rice planting including growth period, yield production, consumption, selling price, cultivated area find scenarios. Results showed that application co-operative improve index water-saving potential agriculture. Furthermore, simulation confirmed effects were important for understanding efficiency potential.
