Water Games
Water Games is a joint initiative of the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and the Centre for Systems Solutions to celebrate the World Water Day.
We have collected and described a number of different games addressing different water challenges. These games differ with respect to time required to play, a number of participants, type (computer, board, or role-play).
We hope that you find a game that you can use and organize a session for other participants that you invite.

International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) and the Centre for Systems Solutions promote and apply the systems approach, in research and policy, in order to understand and solve complex problems at different scales. Serious games are innovative, participatory tools that can support finding solutions for important water problems. They can also support education on water issues in an engaging and accessible way.
