This volume, which is meant for individual study, details a risk- based chemical engineering approach to water utility management that uses an understanding of processes as a starting point. The focus is on techniques for risk-based decision making within a modern operational and regulatory context. Pollard (sustainable systems, Cranfield U., UK) covers first environmental then organizational aspects, with sections on basic probability and statistics, process risk and those beyond the unit process boundary, reliability analysis, regulation, business risk management, and managing opportunities, reputation, and emergencies.
