Two separate farming communities rely on a shared river for irrigation. Community A establishes a system where a council can impose monetary fines on any farmer who uses more than their allotted share of water. Community B holds weekly town halls where farmers discuss their needs and make verbal commitments to conserve water, relying on social pressure and mutual respect to ensure compliance.
