Abstract
Risks in the water distribution system in the Armenian village of Noratus, have been assessed and treated following a risk management study based on the ISO 31 000:2009 standards, but extended for a strategic and long term level of analysis. The main goal is to ensure the safety of the whole water supply system. The brief description of the region as well as the current condition of the water supply system is given in order to clarify system features. The risk management here presented approach is now implemented in the Noratus network. Simulation have been performed using the AWARE-P software platform with the purpose of identifying critical components in the network and the asset probability of structural failure, as inputs for risk quantification. Then the risk magnitude is evaluated with the introduction of risk matrix. The phases of risk estimation and treatment are also carried out to propose the solutions for risk level reduction.
