Risk, Uncertainty, And Probabilistic Approaches Committee

To promote risk, uncertainty, and probabilistic approaches (RUPA) for hydrologic sciences and engineering and disseminate state-of-the-art knowledge, practice, and research results to water resources professionals. Specific goals are to (1) provide a forum to stimulate discussions and research on risk, uncertainty, and probabilistic approaches for hydrologic and hydraulic applications; (2) promote the growth of research activities in these areas and provide visibility of RUPA research results to water resources professionals and the public; (3) advance engineering knowledge and practice through the inspiration and guidance of research; (4) provide effective means to convert research results into forms useful to practitioners and assist in the dissemination of such results; and (5) collaborate with other EWRI committees and external sister organizations (e.g., AGU, AWRA, IAHR, etc.) having an interest in risk, uncertainty, and probabilistic approaches.
