Hydrosystems Engineering Reliability Assessment is the first book to integrate reliability analysis and risk assessment with the planning, design, and management of hydrosystems (dams, levees, storm sewers, etc.).

Features:

• Brings together in a single resource mathematical risk and reliability analysis methods needed to improve planning, design, and performance of hydrosystems
• Demonstrates statistical and probability tools for solving a broad range of hydrosystem engineering problems
• Provides the tools needed to predict hydrosystem project behavior and lifespan under various risk scenarios
• Shows engineers and students how to conduct risk and reliability assessments
• Offers examples of each application, in both U.S. and international units
• Provides sets of Q & A's for self-testing after every chapter
