Risk - Based Decisionmaking in Water Resources Management

工程基金会将于11月3日至8日在加利福尼亚州圣巴巴拉召开第五届水资源基于风险的决策会议，1991年。会议的主要目标是将技术风险评估得出的信息与社会风险的信息结合起来。在一组共同的多目标水资源规划问题中接受，例如，在应对洪水和干旱方面。当前的风险评估问题、不确定领域、政府机构目前使用的程序、评估模拟模型和信息交流机制将是会议期间讨论的一些议题。工程师的参与，参与此次活动的物理学家和社会科学家将促进对这一研究领域大有裨益的交流。

The Engineering Foundation will convene the Fifth Conference on Risk Based Decision Making in Water Resources" to be held in Santa Barbara, California, November 3-8, 1991. The major goal of the conference is to integrate information derived from technological risk assessment with that of social risk acceptance within a common set of multiobjective water resources planning problems, e.g., in dealing with floods and droughts. Current risk assessment issues, areas of uncertainty, procedures currently used by government agencies, evaluation of simulation models and mechanisms for information exchange will be some of the topics discussed during the conference. The participation of engineers, physical and social scientists in this activity will promote exchanges that are of great benefit to this research field.
