Risk and Uncertainty Analysis for Sustainable Urban Water Systems

Understanding of a complex system and analysis of its performances subject to future change pressures is critical for decision-making for sustainability. Most of the future change pressures are uncertain and generate multiple risks in a system. Data used for sustainability analysis are both qualitative and quantitative types. In many cases, the data are scarce and limited. The sustainable decision-making process, therefore, need to consider future change pressures, associated risks and uncertainties. This book presents a novel framework with methods, and tools for risk and uncertainty analysis to support sustainable planning of complex urban water systems.
