Research Abstract: 

We investigate the conjunctive surface and groundwater use management problem with two identical users in a dynamic game-theoretic structure over a planning horizon of two periods. Under the decentralized management scheme, each user is allowed to use water individually making usage decisions in a non-cooperative fashion. Under the centralized scheme both users are allowed to use water with the supervision of a social planner. Optimal water usage is obtained in both problems. Numerical examples are also provided.
