  abstract = {{U}ntil the 2000s, water resources in {T}unisia were managed solely by government bodies without any consultation with water users. {A}t the local level, {C}ommissariats {R}{\'e}gionaux de {D}{\'e}veloppement {A}gricole [{R}egional {A}gricultural {D}evelopment {C}ommittees ({CRDA}s)], which represented the government bodies, managed water resources. {T}he {T}unisian {G}overnment then decided to involve farmers in the local management of water resources by creating {A}gricultural {D}evelopment {A}ssociations ({GDA}s). {W}ater resource management by {CRDA}s must now take into account water demand from farmers belonging to {GDA}s and, in return, farmers must acknowledge water scarcity and accept the need for resource-sharing. {H}ow can {CRDA}s and {GDA}s work towards cooperative water management? {I}n this paper, we present a simulation game requested by officials at the {K}airouan {CRDA} in order to develop cooperative management of the water resources in a typical small watershed in central {T}unisia. {O}ur aim was to use the game to increase both farmers' awareness of water resource-sharing, scarcity, and the impact of overexploitation, and {CRDA} officials' awareness of different uses that determine water demands. {T}he game is based on a hydrological model of the watershed and an agro-economic model of farming systems that use water resources for irrigation.},
