Share your story by considering the following questions:

Explain who shares this resource.

Why do they share it?

Explain how these people use the resource for their own individual gain.

Show how the result is the depletion of the resource.

What ideas do you have to improving the situation and enabling long-term sustainability of the resource?

Governmet water tap in my backward area is shared resource.

my family, neighbors share this resource.

They use it to fullfill their water needs.they think it is a government tap and they dont need to pay for it so they use it for their individual gain. Most of the time they missuse it they drain a lot of water for washing clothes, for washing dishes,to clean the house. Where only one bucket is needed they use five buckets because it is a public tap.

Because of this level of water is decreasing.roads are also filled with water. Because of this government money is being wasted which government have put on the roads. This also has led to water scarcity.

There must be fixed time for water.and the amount of water should also be fixed .water should be recycled and there should be strict monitoring on usage of water. Government should impose fine on wasting water.

The government and local authority should take charge of this.

Initially they will have to face opposition from the people around because they are used to free water and flowing water.

The support of intelligent people and the power of government can help them in this. The government can encourage it by Street plays. Government can also encourage people by giving them reward.

One common, though tragic, phenomenon that occurred during the Great Recession of the late 2000s was homes that were “underwater,” where people took out mortgage loans to buy a house at a particular price before the recession, but later the home’s value dropped below the amount still owed. People might argue that a home’s value should never go “under water,” that the value of a home should never dip below its original purchase price as long as the home has...

There is a common pool resource of size 1000. Two firms use the resource in two periods. In the first period, the firms simultaneously and independently decide how much of the resource to use.

In the second period, the remaining resource is shared equally between the firms, i.e., each of them gets [1000-(x1+x2)]/2. Each firm receives utility √ from using x units...
