    Review and Evaluation of the J100â 10 Risk and Resilience Management Standard for Water and Wastewater Systems

    Full text link
    Risk analysis standards are often employed to protect critical infrastructures, which are vital to a nation’s security, economy, and safety of its citizens. We present an analysis framework for evaluating such standards and apply it to the J100â 10 risk analysis standard for water and wastewater systems. In doing so, we identify gaps between practices recommended in the standard and the state of the art. While individual processes found within infrastructure risk analysis standards have been evaluated in the past, we present a foundational review and focus specifically on water systems. By highlighting both the conceptual shortcomings and practical limitations, we aim to prioritize the shortcomings needed to be addressed. Key findings from this study include (1) risk definitions fail to address notions of uncertainty, (2) the sole use of â worst reasonable caseâ assumptions can lead to mischaracterizations of risk, (3) analysis of risk and resilience at the threatâ asset resolution ignores dependencies within the system, and (4) stakeholder values need to be assessed when balancing the tradeoffs between risk reduction and resilience enhancement.Peer Reviewedhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/154262/1/risa13421_am.pdfhttps://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/154262/2/risa13421.pd
