Risk-based Decision Making in Water Resources
Proceedings of the Fourth Conference, Santa Barbara, California, October 15-20, 1989
Description:... Proceedings of the Fourth Engineering Conference, held in Santa Barbara, California, October 15-20, 1989.
This collection contains 20 papers that address the application of risk analysis to a wealth of water resources problems. Current risk-assessment issues confronting water resources planners are evaluated along with areas of uncertainty. Requirements and procedures currently promoted by engineers in federal and state water resources agencies are identified. Decision analysis methods and/or models that can explicitly incorporate risk preferences are reviewed. In addition, various risk methodologies are discussed as they apply to dam safety, flood control, environmental impacts, and other social, economic, and technological aspects of water resources planning and management.
