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 iv LIST OF ABBREVIATION Abbreviation Meaning HPP Hydropower Plant WTP Water Plant VGTB Vu Gia – Thu Bon RB River basin RBO River basin organization DAWACO Da Nang Water Supply Company NE Nash equilibrium SPNE Subgame perfect Nash equilibrium MONRE Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment MARD Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development MOIT Ministry of Industry and Trade v LIST OF TABLES Table 3.1: Similarities of water conflict and game theory 20 Table 4.1: Water flow of dry season and flood season in VGTB RB 27 Table 4.2: Irrigation system of VGTB RB 31 Table 4.3: Capacity of main water plants of DAWACO 33 Table 4.4: Water supply-demand gap index of VGTB RB 34 Table 4.5: Water exploitation index of VGTB RB 34 Table 4.6: River basin organisations in VGTB RB 37 Table 4.7: Main documents for procedure for operation of inter-reservoir system in VGTB 39 Table 4.8: Changes in water resources of Vu Gia River 43 Table 5.1: Matrix of Sub-game in general model 44 Table 5.2: Matrix of Sub-game in general model 45 Table 5.3: Outcomes of VGTB game’s example model 48 Table 5.4: The basis to calculate M-value of H (hydropower plants) 51 Table 5.5: Profit of hydropower plants in VGTB game’s practical model 51 Table 5.6: The basis to calculate M-value of I (irrigation system) 53 Table 5.7: Profit of Irrigation in VGTB game’s practical model 53 Table 5.8: M-value of H, I and C 54 Table 5.9: Guaranteed value for water demand of downstream 55 Table 5.10: Total sharing water from three hydropower reservoirs in three scenarios 56 Table 5.11: Outcomes of VGTB game’s practical model 58 Table 5.12: Outcomes of VGTB game’s practical model (example) 58 vi Table 5.13: M-value of three players with water right weight (γ) based on average profit 62 Table 5.14: Outcomes of VGTB game’s modified model 64 Table 5.15: Outcomes of VGTB game’s modified model (example) 64 Table 5.16: Social payoff in general model, practical model and modified model (𝓥𝑺𝑾) 65 vii LIST OF FIGURES Figure 1.1: Research framework based on the demand side and supply side Figure 2.1: Four dimensions of resources scarcity Figure 3.1: Game tree with three players 21 Figure 5.1: Irrigation planning map of Quang Nam province 46 Figure 5.2: Game tree with dominant strategies and value of payoffs of general model 47 Figure 5.3: Game tree with dominant strategies and value of payoffs of practical model 57 Figure 5.4: Payoffs of C -
