Risk-Informed Management of European River Basins

The book "Risk-Informed Management of European River Basins" offers a comprehensive analysis of the challenges posed by economic activities and climate change for European river basins. It presents an integrated approach to river basin management based on the principles of risk-informed management, as developed within the framework of the RISKBASE project funded by the European Commission. The authors, including leading scientists and representatives of key stakeholders, explain how this approach can improve the ecological quality of river basins and preserve the associated goods and services for society. The book is aimed at scientists, consultants, and practitioners involved with river basins, as well as the authors and implementers of the Water Framework Directive (WFD). It provides not only theoretical foundations but also practical examples to illustrate the principles of risk-informed management.
