Title Multi-criteria decision analysis with probabilistic risk assessment for the management of contaminated ground water
Creator Khadam, I. Kaluarachchi, Jagath J.
Description Traditionally, environmental decision analysis in subsurface contamination scenarios is performed using cost–benefit analysis. In this paper, we discuss some of the limitations associated with cost–benefit analysis, especially its definition of risk, its definition of cost of risk, and its poor ability to communicate risk-related information. This paper presents an integrated approach for management of contaminated ground water resources using health risk assessment and economic analysis...
