Introduction to Risk and Uncertainty in Hydrosystem Engineering
Water engineers require knowledge of stochastic, frequency concepts, uncertainty analysis, risk assessment, and the processes that predict unexpected events.
This book presents the basics of stochastic, risk and uncertainty analysis, and random sampling

TOPICS IN SAFETY, RISK, RELIABILITY AND QUALITY Volume 22
Editor Adrian V. Gheorghe, Old Dominion University Norfolk, VA, USA Editorial Advisory Board P. Sander, Technical University of Eindhoven, Eindhoven, The Netherlands D.C. Barrie, Lakehead University, Thunder Bay, ON, CANADA R. Leitch, Royal Military College of Science (Cranfield), Shrivenham, UK Aims and Scope. Fundamental questions which are being asked these days of all products, processes, and services with ever increasing frequency are: What is the risk? How safe is it? How reliable is it? How good is the quality? How much does it cost? This is particularly true as the government, industry, public, customers, and society become increasingly informed and articulate.
In practice, none of the three topics can be considered in isolation as they all interact and interrelate in very complex and subtle ways, and require a range of disciplines for their description and application; they encompass the social, engineering, and physical sciences and quantitative disciplines including mathematics, probability theory, and statistics. The major objective of the series is to provide series of authoritative texts suitable for academic taught courses, reference purposes, postgraduate and other research and practitioners generally working or strongly associated with areas such as: Safety Assessment and Management Emergency Planning Risk Management Reliability Analysis and Assessment Vulnerability Assessment and Management Quality Assurance and Management Special emphasis is placed on texts with regard to readability, relevance, clarity, applicability, rigor, and generally sound quantitative content.
