* Thesis abstract:
Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) are infrastructures of vital importance for ensuring the
human and environmental health. Furthermore, they have a key role in environmental
sustainability by recycling the useful materials such as water and nutrients. Environmental
protection, preventing contamination of underground water resources and promoting public health,
are the reasons that the WWTPs systems are one of the most important infrastructure of modern
civilized societies. Failures in WTPs may lead to adverse outcomes such as untreated wastes
exclusion containing various chemical and biological pollutants from WWTPs and their entry into
the urban environments and agricultural lands. That can lead to serious crises such as outbreaks of
contagious diseases in the community. Hence, assessing the potential risks in WWTPs and
designing the prevention and mitigation plans are necessary. In this thesis, an algorithm has been
proposed for risk assessment and management of WWTPs. In the proposed algorithm, the risk of
a specific element of a WWTP is calculated by multiplying three parameters’ values comprising
probability of failure, intensity of probable damages and vulnerability of element. The values of
aforementioned parameters is quantified by means of experts and policy-makers’ viewpoints
which are elicited from questionnaires. Based on the values of operational risk elements
(probability, intensity and vulnerability), different mitigation or prevention plans are
recommendable to reduce the total value of risks. In this thesis, the proposed algorithm has been
3. implemented for a WWTP as a test example. Tehran South Wastewater Treatment Plant was
chosen as a case study. The result of the study shows that the proposed algorithm can be employed
by managers and policy-makers of WTPs as a robust and practical decision-making tool.
