Original Abstract

The risk analysis represents a modern approach of determining the level of provision of drinking water supplies for the onsumers and the safety of the whole drinking water supply system. The authors of this paper present a methodology of risk analysis of drinking water supply systems and they deal with identification of qualitative as well as quantitative risks posted by the individual system components, the evaluation methods and interpretation of results. Problems relating to uncertainty and poor input data are solved by the application of an FMEA/FMECA technique, which is also demonstrated here on a case study concerning a water-supply tank. Some basic facts and first outputs of the national research project - WaterRisk - are presented in the last part of the document.
