About this book

• One-stop resource
•                                         Sets the scene for the near future
•                                         Most risk and uncertainty studies on hydrosystem engineering (1967 to 2012) are presented in the book’s Appendix in table format
  

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 techniques in conjunction with straightforward examples which are solved step by step. In addition, appropriate Excel functions are included as an alternative to solve the examples, and two real case studies is presented in the last chapters of book.

Ehsan Goodarzi Ehsan Goodarzi is post-doctoral researcher in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. His research currently is considering the effect of different climate scenarios on water quality and quantity at the watershed level. In addition, he received his PhD degree from University Putra Malaysia (UPM) in the Water Resource Engineering with focusing on hydrologic risk assessment and uncertainty analysis by mathematical and statistical methods based on a probability-based method. His research interests cover various fields of water engineering including; surface water hydrology, watershed management, optimization and stochastic simulation, and risk and uncertainty analysis in hydrosystems engineering.
