Integrated Risk Analysis for Sustainable Water Resources Management

  • Conference paper
Comparative Risk Assessment and Environmental Decision Making

Part of the book series: Nato Science Series: IV: Earth and Environmental Sciences ((NAIV,volume 38))

Abstract

Two main criteria are usually taken into consideration for engineering water resources management, namely technical reliability and economic efficiency (techno-economic approach). To obtain sustainability, one should consider not only technical and economic issues, but also environmental and social aspects. In this paper it is explained how integrated risk analysis considering risk indexes in four dimensions (technical, economical, environmental and social) can be used in order to quantify the degree of sustainability in water resources management.
