Description: Risk, Reliability, Uncertainty, and Robustness of Water Resource Systems (International Hydrology Series) Cambridge University Press Paperback Unused and unread, cosmetic imperfections such as scuffs, creases or knocks. Stamped 'damaged' by publisher to a non-text page. EAN: 9780521020411 Published 29/09/2005 Language: English Risk, Reliability, Uncertainty, and Robustness of Water Resource Systems is based on the Third George Kovacs Colloquium organized by the International Hydrological Programme (UNESCO) and the International Association of Hydrological Sciences. Thirty-five leading scientists with international reputations provide reviews of topical areas of research on water resource systems, including aspects of extreme hydrological events: floods and droughts; water quantity and quality dams; reservoirs and hydraulic structures; evaluating sustainability and climate change impacts. As well as discussing essential challenges and research directions, the book will assist in applying theoretical methods to the solution of practical problems in water resources. The authors are multi-disciplinary, stemming from such areas as: hydrology, geography, civil, environmental and agricultural engineering, forestry, systems sciences, operations research, mathematics, physics and geophysics, ecology and atmospheric sciences. This review volume will be valuable for graduate students, scientists, consultants, administrators, and practising hydrologists and water managers. 1. Introduction Janos J. Bogardi and Zbigniew W.
