Risk analysis of water pollution
This book presents risk and uncertainty as a support for water quality decision-making processes. It is a unique tool for identifying and evaluating local and regional environmental risks from pollution hazards in groundwater, river water and coastal seawaters. The six chapters of the book include water resources quantity and quality, risk identification, risk quantification, risk assessment of environmental water quality, risk management, and case studies. Two appendices are devoted to the probabilistic approach and fuzzy set theory. It is an excellent addition to a civil and environmental engineering library as a source in one location of many risk concepts related to water quality.
This new edition of a classic text has now been extensively updated to include the latest developments in risk analysis and water quality assessment and management. It takes into account the role of ecological water quality in integrated regional and transboundary water resources management, according to the latest UNESCO programmes and the new EU-Water Framework Directive.
