“…Researchers also raised the topic of the resilience and reliability of water supply systems to climatic factors in works [57][58][59][60]. In recent years, research has been continued on the perception of risks to the operation of water supply systems resulting from climate impacts, such as weather risk, flood risk and operational risk [61][62][63][64].…”

“…More than 30% of the analyzed publications come from this period. The most interesting research directions developed in recent years include research on the impact of climate change on water quality in water supply systems [10], research related to the increase in sea water levels and its impact on water supply infrastructure in coastal regions [39,64], and research on the impact of climate change on water demand [13]. Still, one of the most popular directions of research is the assessment of the impact of climatic factors on the failure rate of water pipes [7,[37][38][39]51].…”

With ongoing climate change, new threats appear to the operation of water supply systems (WSSs), which are related to the amount of available drinking water resources, its quality, the operation of existing water supply infrastructure and changes in consumer behavior. The paper presents a bibliometric analysis of the state of knowledge on the impact of climate change on the failure of water supply infrastructure. The bibliometric analysis was performed based on the VOSviewer program. The results of the analysis indicate current research trends in this area around the world and allow the identification of strengths and weaknesses. Most research concerns the identification of factors related to the impact of climate on the failure rate of water distribution systems. A popular research topic was also the prediction of water supply network failures, taking into account the impact of climatic factors. The main research gap is determining the impact of climate change on water quality. The acquired knowledge can be used by water companies, policy-makers and other researchers to plan adaptation strategies to climate change, which pose new challenges for the operation of water supply systems. The conducted bibliometric analysis also allowed for identifying research gaps.

“…More recently, the climate community has begun to recognize the vulnerabilities of cities from hinterland system disruptions (UNEP 2016, Verschuur et al 2022); yet, no systematic study explores and describes hinterland hazards and their significance for urban areas. As the connections between local and hinterland areas are many and diverse (UNEP 2016, Carson et al 2021, Verschuur et al 2022, Brunner et al 2024, such a study allows for systematic exploration and planning of cross-boundary climate risks and helps city infrastructure managers reduce vulnerabilities to local systems.…”

Extreme weather-related events are showing how infrastructure disruptions in hinterlands can affect cities. This paper explores the risks to city infrastructure services including transportation, electricity, communication, fuel supply, water distribution, stormwater drainage, and food supply from hinterland hazards of fire, precipitation, post-fire debris flow (PFDF), smoke, and flooding. There is a large and growing body of research that describes the vulnerabilities of infrastructures to climate hazards, yet this work has not systematically acknowledged the relationships and cross-governance challenges of protecting cities from remote disruptions. An evidence base is developed through a structured literature review that identifies city infrastructure vulnerabilities to hinterland hazards. Findings highlight diverse pathways from the initial hazard to the final impact on an infrastructure, demonstrating that impacts to hinterland infrastructure assets from hazards can cascade to city infrastructure. Beyond the value of describing the impact of hinterland hazards on urban infrastructure, the identified pathways can assist in informing cross-governance mitigation strategies. It may be the case that to protect cities, local governments invest in mitigating hazards in their hinterlands and supply chains.

Risk Assessment Method for System‐of‐Systems Operations — A Case Study of Wildfire Fighting

A SoS is a set of collaborating systems that act towards a common achievement. Risk assessment is important in the early stages of SoS operational development, both for mission objectives and to enable technology which is developed responsibly. The method considers risks that stems from both internal and external interactions which leads to losses for different kind of actors. The method has been applied to a fictional case study of wildfire fighting. The internal interactions are mostly communication between the CSs while external interactions represent dependencies of other systems as well as impacts on other systems. The outcome of the methodology is a network of connected hazards to be used for risk management and for high level SoS requirements.
