With the aim of reducing the losses from water pollution, a dynamic risk assessment model for water quality is studied in this paper. This model is built on the projection pursuit cluster principle and risk indexes in the complex system, proceeding from the whole structure and its component parts. In this paper, the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process is used to screen out index system and determine index weight, while the further value of an index is simulated by hydrological model. The proposed model adopts the comprehensive dynamic evaluation method to analyze the time dimension data, and evaluates the development tendency by combining qualitative analysis with quantitative analysis. The projection pursuit theory is also employed for clustering the spatial dimension data, the optimal projection vector for calculating risk cluster type to compartmentalize risk, and then local conditions for proposing the regulation scheme. The applicational results show that the model has the strong logic superiority and regional adaptability with strict theoretical system, flexible methods, correct and reasonable results and simple implementation to provide a new way for research on risk assessment models of water quality.
Auditing the new ISO 14001:2015: Environment Impacts does not equal Risk
In recent transition audits, there has been one common misconception that I have seen repeated, and that is that environmental impacts are risks. This is not correct. Environmental impacts do not equal risk.
Let’s start with the definition of environmental impact from the ISO 14001:2015 standard.
“3.2.4 – environmental impact: change to the environment, whether adverse or beneficial, wholly or partially resulting...
In the paper the issue of failure risk assessment in water supply system (WSS) was presented. Problems of water supply network failure constitute a crucial issue in waterworks practice. The results of the analysis were obtained on the basis of real data from water network operation. Attention has been paid to the problem of risk assessment in the context of risk acceptance criteria. An example of criteria application was shown for the exemplary water supply network. The water network indicators: failure frequency,...
In this paper, the risk of water supply systems as a combination of hydraulic analyses (consequence) and failure probability of pipelines based on the actual condition is discussed. On the one hand, a stepwise closing of pipelines calculates the influence on customer's supply which represents the importance of a pipe. On the other hand, based on existing failure statistics, age and material distribution, a failure probability of a pipe segment is calculated. The two factors represent a risk matrix which is...
How procurement strategies, manufacturing costs and new technology stack up against development risk in Offshore Wind Projects.
Offshore wind is changing, and it is changing for the better. In 2006, offshore wind deployment costs started rising significantly, from £1.5m/ MW, in 2016 prices, to over £4m/MW in 2012, without a clear indication as to what the price ceiling would be. There was an industry-wide realisation that a significant shift was necessary to avoid losing out on investments to alternati...
Eğirdir Lake basin was selected as the study area because the lake is the second largest freshwater lake in Turkey and groundwater in the basin is used as drinking water. In the present study, 29 groundwater samples were collected and analyzed for physico-chemical parameters to determine the hydrochemical characteristics, groundwater quality, and human health risk in the study area. The dominant ions are Ca2+, Mg2+, HCO32−, and SO42. According to Gibbs plot, the predominant samples fall in the rock–water interactio...
