Instructions for Game
</p>

<p>
This is an experiment based on a scenario for groundwater use which is similar to one developed by researchers at ASU for use with farmers in India. This is a voluntary experience for you to learnabout groundwater problems. If there is something
you do not understand about these instructions please ask the facilitator
</p>
    
<p>
The types of crops that you choose to plant affect how much groundwater is used and how much money you make. Some crops require more water to grow, but can fetch more income. So, if everyone grows these crops, groundwater levels are likely to fall more than if everyone grows more water efficient crops.
</p>  

<p>
We are going to play an activity that simulates the types of decisions that farmers make about what crops to plant. This is an opportunity for you to make decisions just like you do all the time. But in this situation, you will be playing through several years of planting crops in a short period of time. This activity is very simple in that it does not include all the decisions that farmers make in the fields. We are focusing on how you decide between planting one or two different kinds of crops. They are not actual crops. They are pretend crops. 
</p>

<p>
    Crop A requires little water to grow and gives you a small amount of money.
</p>

<p>
    Crop requires more water to grow but gives you more money. 
</p>

<p>
    During this activity, please do not speak unless you are asked to.
</p>

<p>
This activity recreates a situation where a group of people must make decisions about using water to grow crops. You are in a group of {{Session.num_participants}} individuals. You will play a number of years, each with one growing season. Each participant is making the same decision about which crops to plant. All of your water comes from the same groundwater source.

<p>
    At the beginning of the activity, there are {{intitial_groundwater}} units of groundwater available to grow crops. As water is used, this water decreases. Every year, you will have to make a decision, which of the two crops to plant: Crop A or Crop B. Crop A costs {{Constants.crop_A_water_use}} unit of water and gives {{Constants.crop_A_income}} units of income. Crop B costs {{Constants.crop_B_water_use}} units of water and gives {{Constants.crop_B_income}} units of income. At the beginning of each year, the groundwater supply recharges by {{recharge_rate}} units of water. We will show this
recharge happen by moving the blue column up by N+2 units of water in the bore well. The community also needs to use water for domestic use, which are estimated to be {{Constants.community_use}} units of water
each year.
