Abstract

This work proposes an integrated methodology for the quantification of the risk associated to damage scenarios in water supply networks, based on the theory of vulnerability, with the quantification of the consequences associated to the loss of the network, for each identified scenario. The identification of the vulnerabilities can contribute to make them more robust as well as to reduce the potential impact of a damage scenario for the system’s users
