Oil spills are serious environmental issues that potentially can cause adverse effects on marine ecosystems. In some areas, like the Baltic Sea, there is a large number of wrecks from first half 20th century, and recent monitoring field work have revealed release oil these wrecks. The risk posed by wreck governed its condition, hazardous substances contained in state surrounding environment. Therefore, need for common standard method estimating risks associated with different this...
The subsurface is a multifunctional natural resource. However, mindset of “out sight, out mind” and first-come-first-served principle are prevalent when accessing these resources, compromising fair intergenerational intragenerational distribution sustainable development. As with the ecosystem services (ES) concept, which acknowledges contribution living part nature to human well-being, concept geosystem (GS) has been suggested as way highlight abiotic provided by subsurface. overall aim this...
To cope with present and future challenges, a growing number of water utilities in Sweden, Europe elsewhere initiate various forms inter-municipal cooperations creating new regional level drinking governance. In order to reach viable decisions alternative ways forward, there is an international consensus that sustainability needs be addressed supply planning, design decision-making. There are, however, few decision aids focusing on assessing the policies interventions decision-makers are...
Water protection is a widely supported goal in society, but competing interests often complicate the implementation of water measures. Moreover, benefits efforts are typically underestimated as risk assessments focus on provision drinking and neglect additional services provided by clean source. We developed list system (WSS) that allows assessment all biotic abiotic The WSS were derived from Common International Classification Ecosystem Services (CICES). objectives this paper to (i)...
Shipwrecks around the world contain unknown volumes of hazardous substances which, if discharged, could harm marine environment. can deteriorate for a number reasons, including corrosion and physical impact from trawling other activities, probability leakage increases with time. Before deciding on possible mitigation measures, there are currently few comprehensive methods assessing shipwrecks respect to pollution risks. A holistic method estimating environmental risks should be based...
Several countries promote a regionalization of the drinking water sector; however, few decision support tools are adapted to intermunicipal level aid in regional decisions. The aim this paper is describe and demonstrate probabilistic cost-benefit analysis approach assess societal effects supply interventions constitute for makers. A special focus given quantification on consumers' health, reliability, operation maintenance costs. uncertainties quantified values represented by probability...
Abstract As water scarcity and drought become more common, planning to avoid their consequences becomes crucial. Measures prevent the impact of new climate conditions are expected be extensive, costly associated with major uncertainties. It is therefore necessary that policymakers practitioners in both public private sector can compare possible mitigation measures order make economically rational investment decisions. For this successful, decision-makers need relevant decision support. This...
Much research effort has recently been devoted to securing Industrial Control Systems (ICS) in response the increasing number of adverse incidents targeting nation-wide critical infrastructures. Leveraging static and regular nature behavior control systems, various data-driven methods that monitor process-level network have proposed as a defensive measure. Although these evaluated through offline analysis ICS-related datasets, absence documented live experiments real environments, complete...
Botswana experiences a water stressed situation due to the climate and continuously increasing demand. Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) is considered, among other measures, improve situation. To evaluate possibility for increased supply security, probabilistic dynamic security model was developed. Statistically generated time series of source availability are used in combination with storages dams aquifers, possible compared demand simulate magnitude probability shortages. The simulates system...
Reliable and safe drinking water supply requires adequate risk management. Decision support models can aid decisionmakers to effectively evaluate mitigation measures allocate societal resources. Here, a Swedish case study illustrates how the installation of ultrafiltration membranes be evaluated by combining assessment cost-benefit analysis. Quantitative microbial was used assess several contamination sources estimate achieved reduction from waterborne pathogens using Campylobacter,...
In the third edition of Guidelines for Drinking-water Quality, World Health Organization concludes that an integrated management risks in source waters, treatment systems and distribution networks is most effective way to guarantee safe drinking water consumers. The approach fundamental avoid sub-optimisation risk-reduction measures. This paper presents application quantitative risk model comparing measures support decisions reaching specified safety targets. A fault tree used structuring...
Access to a reliable water supply is central for well-functioning society. However, systems are subject wide range of threats which may affect their ability provide This paper presents novel risk assessment approach that enables thorough analyses economic losses and associated uncertainties under disruption scenarios. The purpose avoid sub-optimization when prioritizing between reduction measures, by integrating the full possible outcomes from low high probability events. By combining...
