Engineering risk in natural resources management : with special references to hydrosystems under changes of physical or climatic environment / edited by L. Duckstein and E. Parent.
This book provides a system framework to observe, detect and monitor changes in geophysical time series for the purpose of managing natural -- mostly water -- resources. The institutional aspects of risk are considered to be an integral part of the management system. Original and novel features incl...
