The River Basin Game
Raising Irrigation Productivity and Releasing Water for Intersectoral Needs’ (RIPARWIN) is a study of river basin management in the Great Ruaha River, Tanzania. The objective of the study is to examine the theory that if irrigation productivity can be raised then water can be released to meet downstream and intra/intersectoral needs. In similar situations role-playing tools have proved to be effective in solving water management conflicts. The River Basin Game described in this working paper is a dialogue tool for decision-makers and water users that has been tested in Tanzania. It comprises a physical representation of the catchment in the form of a large wooden board. The central river flows between the upper catchment and a downstream wetland, and has on it several intakes into irrigation systems of varying sizes. Glass marbles that ‘flow’ down the channel represent the river water. This report includes a literature review of gaming in water resources management, a complete description of the game, details of the practical arrangements required to organize a game-playing session and possible approaches to evaluate the effectiveness of a session.
The Lankfords & Langfords of Virginia

Water Security
The purpose of this book is to present an overview of the latest research, policy, practitioner, academic and international thinking on water security—an issue that, like water governance a few years ago, has developed much policy awareness and momentum with a wide range of stakeholders. As a concept it is open to multiple interpretations, and the authors here set out the various approaches to the topic from different perspectives. Key themes addressed include: Water security as a foreign policy issue The interconnected variables of water, food, and human security Dimensions other than military and international relations concerns around water security Water security theory and methods, tools and audits. The book is loosely based on a masters level degree plus a short professional course on water security both given at the University of East Anglia, delivered by international authorities on their subjects. It should serve as an introductory textbook as well as be of value to professionals, NGOs, and policy-makers.

Integrated Water Resources Management, Institutions and Livelihoods under Stress
The majority of people in Limpopo river basin depend on rainfed agriculture. Unfortunately the Limpopo is water scarce, and parts of the basin, such as Zimbabwe's Mzingwane catchment, are under stress in terms of agro-ecological and socio-politicoeconomic conditions. Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) has been adopted in the river basin i
