A System Mode Selection Approach to Integrated Urban-rural Water Supply System Constructions Based on Risk Management

With more and more attention paid to water supply problems in rural areas, actions have been taken to address it, and the practices in China have proved that the integrated urban-rural water supply system constructions would be a good choice. Two typical modes of the system construction were reviewed in this paper, and which mode is better is a problem for decision-makers. To solve the problem, an approach based on risk management is established, and the mode with the smaller risk value is regarded as the better one. The approach will contribute to the decision-making of the integrated urban-rural water supply system constructions.
