Abstract
The methodological foundations and a Web-based software prototype for risk management at the catchment level of a drinking-water supply chain are presented. The system follows the WHO’s Water Safety Plan approach. Robustness and a good effort-benefit ratio are gained by a semi-quantitative risk assessment approach. Additional intelligence is brought into the system by exploiting geodata layers and geodata processing for assessing the vulnerability of the water resources in a given geographic area.
