Stedinger %J Water Resources Research %T Robustness of water resources systems %X When water resource systems investments are made there is little assurance that the predicted performance will coincide with the actual performance. Robustness is proposed as a measure of the likelihood that the actual cost of a proposed project will not exceed some fraction of the minimum possible cost of a system designed for the actual conditions that occur in the future. The robustness criterion is illustrated by its application to the planning of water supply systems in southwestern Sweden. %N 1 %P 21-26 %V 18 %D 1982 %I Wiley %R 10.1029/WR018i001p00021 %L iiasa14078
