Risk Identification and Assessment of the Accidents for Distance Water Transfer Project

Abstract

For South to North Water Transfer Project (SNWTP) in China with a long open canal, the distance water transfer system is a complex river system communicating with rivers and lakes along the way. Water delivery safety is threatened by various potential accidents. In this paper, using check list method, the accident risk was identified and the accident types were distinguished. Then, using fuzzy opinion centralized decision method (FOCD) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP), the risk assessment system was established and the assessment model was developed. Finally, the accident risk and the influence degree of various types of accidents for SNWTP in Shandong Province were evaluated.
