We focus on groundwater, an essential resource for water-dependent activities increasingly threatened by climate change. We introduce a declining recharge in a dynamic game to represent increasing water scarcity, along with a restriction policy that limits non-priority use to prevent overexploitation. The results show that targeted restrictions can improve long-term resource levels and total welfare compared to unregulated and abundant scenarios. However, these benefits come at the expense of the non-priority sector, revealing a trade-off between sustainability and equity.13 p.application/pdfengcc by (c) Frutos Cachorro, Julia de et al., 2025http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Canvi climàticJocsHidrologia d'aigües subterràniesClimatic changeGamesGroundwater hydrologyNatural Resource Management Under Increasing Scarcity and Competition: The Case of Groundwaterinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article7637842026-01-30info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
