Jacques G. Ganoulis Engineering Risk Analysis of Water Pollution Probabilities and Fuzzy Sets Question: How can I best evaluate the environmental impact and find the risks of water pollution from wastewater disposal? Answer: In a unique and comprehensive way, this book analyzes the questions of risk and reliability in water quality. And more than that: it also develops a methodology to evaluate the environmental impact from wastewater disposal on rivers, groundwater and coastal areas. Major topics covered include:

• fuzzy set theory for engineering risk analysis
• uncertainty analysis of water quantity and quality data
• stochastic and fuzzy simulation of hydrosystems: model selection under uncertainty, water quality management in rivers and aquifers, risk in coastal pollution
• decision theory under uncertainty: groundwater pollution, risk management, risk-cost trade-offs

In addition, numerous case studies deepen the reader?s understanding of the methods and techniques presented. Jacques Ganoulis has written extensively in groundwater hydraulics, surface hydrology and coastal water quality.
