Risk/Benefit Analysis in Water Resources Planning and Management

More about the book

The book explores the complexities of risk assessment in decision-making, particularly in the context of water resources planning and management. It highlights the tendency to underestimate risk due to challenges in measurement and the lack of mechanisms for effective risk assessments in official planning documents. The proceedings from a conference on Risk/Benefit Analysis compile insights from professionals who have tackled these issues, offering both theoretical and practical solutions aimed at enhancing risk assessment processes in this critical field.
