Authors situate their research within the Ecology of Games literature successfully. Authors announce their application of the EGF is innovative since it studies a phenomenon in the global South. In order to make this argument more convincing, and perhaps contributing to North-South discussions, authors could make an effort to comment on how their research offers a more nuanced view of earlier findings on the composition of water management committees in Brazil. A review of the articles by Abers \cite{Abers_2004,Keck_2004,Neaera_Abers_2009}\cite{Tankha_2010}, Tankha and Fuller \cite{Tankha_2010}, Ioris (\cite{Ioris_2008}), and \cite{Brannstrom_2004}, may be helpful. In these pieces, authors argue that participatory water committees can indeed offer opportunities to change power asymmetries, especially if participants develop a specific identity that allows framing collective action with a river basin perspective. Other pieces that are influential for discussions on IWRM and power asymmetries in the global South include Biswas \cite{Biswas_2008,Biswas_2004,Biswas_2008a} and Tortajada \cite{2005}
