Engineering Reliability and Risk in Water Resources [E-Book] / edited by Lucien Duckstein, Erich J. Plate.

Hydraulic, hydrologic and water resources engineers have been concerned for a long time about failure phenomena. One of the major concerns is the definition of a failure event E, of its probability of occurrence PtE), and of the complementary notion of reliability. However, as the stochastic aspects...
