Abstract

There have been water tensions between countries in the Mekong basin area for a long time due to the fact that hydropower building and exploitation of water resources in many fields in upstream countries have had an impact on the condition and condition of water downstream. Clashes over water assets occur in a variety of industries, including agriculture, hydropower, fisheries, pollution, ecosystem diversity, navigation, ecotourism, and alluvium. Since its inception, game theory has been utilized to imagine social circumstances among competing players and aid participants in choosing optimal decisions in strategic situations. Therefore, using the game theory model, with each country in the Mekong River basin acting as a player with its strategy, the basin’s countries then come to a settlement on the advantages of using water resources, which improve bilateral ties, decrease conflicts of interest, and ensure the long-term sustainability of water resources. Furthermore, by using the NSGA-II algorithm, leaders of countries identify suitable solutions to the water dispute in the Mekong River area. Lastly, our aim in the study is not only to figure out the specifically algorithmic method for six Mekong neighboring countries to effectively exploit the abundantly riparian water resources but also to contribute a new math formula in managing water conflicts among many other rivers on the planet.
