Part III, Case Histories and a Look into the Future, features a risk-informed
decision-making deployments example and a discussion on risk communication and
concludes with a look into what we expect might happen in the years, decades to
come.
Concrete examples and case histories support the discussion. In particular, we
show:
1. How critical risks, and their necessary management controls, can be identified
for both existing and new dams;
2. How cost-effective risk reduction strategies can be identified and included in the
design and management of new projects;
3. How risk assessment approaches can provide a solid basis for the justification
and prioritization of continuous improvement programs;
4. How an extant dam portfolio can be risk-prioritized in order to design mitigative
measures while appropriately communicating risk to the public.
