Water Resources Engineering Risk Assessment : Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Study Institute on Risk and Reliability in Water Resources and Environmental Engineering Held at Porto Karras, Greece, Ma

Although many theoretical developments have been achieved recently, the progress both in understanding and application of risk and reliablity analysis in water resources and environmental engineering remains slow.

Presenting, in a unified and comprehensive framework, the various aspects of risk and reliability in both water quantity and quality problems, this text describes methods for total risk management, risk analysis of extremes in hydrology, groundwater clean-up, and river and coastal pollution.
