This paper describes the experiences of Binnie Black & Veatch (BBV) in carrying out reservoir risk assessments for the North of Scotland Water Authority (NOSWA), using the guidance given in the recent CIRIA Report C542 ‘Risk management for UK reservoirs’. It provides a general account of the methodology and the particular approach adopted, and highlights some of the issues raised and lessons learned by the BBV team of assessors. It is hoped that this paper will make a contribution to the development of reservoir risk assessment methodology.
