For those who are interested in the topic: please also take a look at the publication "Computer-supported games and role plays in teaching water management" by A.Y. Hoekstra in HESSD (http://www.hydrol-earth-syst-sci-discuss.net/9/1859/2012/hessd-9-1859-2012-print.pdf). There two examples of games/role plays are discussed: - the River Basin Game: a common-pool resource game in which participants experience the risk of over-abstractions of water in a river basin and learn how this risk relates to the complexity of the system, the conflict between individual and group optimum and the difficulty to come to good cooperation available at http://www.waterfootprint.org/?page=files/Riverbasingame - the Globalization of Water Role Play, which I mentioned in my previous blog entry: makes participants familiar with the global dimension of water management by letting them experience how national governments can integrate considerations of water scarcity and domestic water productivities into decisions on international trade in commodities like food, cotton and bio-energy. available at http://www.waterfootprint.org/?page=files/RolePlay Maybe this is of interest to you for your own teaching purposes, seminars, etc..
