Risk assessment of water allocation and pollution treatment policies in a regional economy: Reliability, vulnerability and resiliency in the Yellowstone Basin of Montana

Abstract Different water allocation and pollution treatment policies are evaluated in a regional economy using three measures of risk. Risk measures include reliability, resilience and vulnerability. These measures are applied in an economic context using a simulation model of production processes in the Yellowstone River Basin.
