Water & Risk
The group Water & Risk quantifies and assesses risks in water supply and sanitation systems. Our research primarily focuses on developing innovative methods for risk modelling and evaluation, which we apply to support decision-making processes.
As a cross-disciplinary team, our areas of application are as diverse as the potential risks we address. These include health-related, environmental, physical, and digital risks. To effectively tackle this wide range of challenges, we collaborate closely with other research groups at KWB, combining specialised knowledge and methodological expertise.
