RISK ANALYSIS, DAM SAFETY, DAM SECURITY AND CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT

As there has been a continued increase in the demand for higher levels of safety, security and reliability for all critical infrastructures, the design, construction, and operation of dams should be integrated as part of a comprehensive risk management framework that can effectively address natural and manmade hazards. As an effect, in recent years integrated management strategies have become more and more important, and as such, their related implementation efforts should include aspects such as sustainability, resilience, and public participation.

'Risk Analysis, Dam Safety, Dam Security, and Critical Infrastructure Management' offers the state of the art on risk analysis, representing a primary tool for achieving effective management of critical infrastructures along with a suitable framework for the development of risk management models regarding natural, technological and human-induced hazards.
