Using Risk-Based Forecasts to Improve Water Supply Reliability
This paper focuses on developing sustainable water management strategies for Charlottesville, Virginia and the surrounding Rivanna River watershed and how they are being facilitated through risk management. Risk management is a means by which water systems can accurately quantify and manage risk using inflow forecasts, thus improving sytem reliability while offering potentially large cost savings through more intensive use of existing supplies and water conservation. The paper describes the advantages of risk management by highlighting the limitations of the safe yield approach and how the former is necessary for improved drought management and capacity planning. It also briefly discusses the basis of the instream flow needs and how risk management is applied to best meet them.
