according to the interactions format proposed by the boundary workers. The
knowledge index will evolve in the same way. The water users have also an access
and can modify the status of their pumps.
On the other hand, one of the boundary worker attributes is a recipe list. They can,
for example, observe the river flow and perform one of the recipes. They have access
to the institution including various hydrological thresholds.

Changes Induced by Interactions
We want to portray the capacity of perception of people, including showing their
ability to perceive their surroundings. The water users can perceive their environment
with sensors that will provide numerical measures, such as the water level in a river.
The environmental perception can also be evaluated directly by the boundary worker.
In this process, the boundary worker has his own assessment of the environment. In
case he believes that there is a problem (when the water level is lower as a defined
threshold by the institution) several recipes may be considered.
