Game
Aridia: Droughts of Andalucía
The game is about three farmers that produce all the same crop (olives) for the market. The setting of the game is in southern Spain where water becomes a scarcer resource over time. In the game there is not a set time frame, but the period is roughly from the time that water was not an issue in southern Spain until the future where water will be a huge problem. During the game every farmer has their own specific aim. The aim of the farmers is to continue producing their crops the best they can, each with a different irrigation method loosely representing their general perspective on the importance of a dwindling water reservoir. One farmer will keep the same irrigation system with a higher water use, one farmer will slightly improve to an irrigation system with a lower water use and one will improve to an irrigation system with the most efficient water use. In essence, the objective of this game is to raise awareness of the impact and importance of different farming practices on a landscape facing more frequent and severe droughts.
