Water Shortage Risk Index

CETE 02 B Midterm Exam: Water Shortage Risk Index

by: Gallamaso, J., Gironella, F., Santos, G., Tolitol, J.

This is our attempt in expressing water shortage risk mathematically, in the simplest way possible. Unlike most disaster risk index, we have added a time variable.

Any criticisms and suggestions are very much welcome. We will attempt modelling water shortage risk using this index at a later time, when the formula will be corrected.
