Abstract
In this chapter, a probabilistic approach to forecasting of the risk caused by groundwater contamination is considered. The general conceptual model submitted for consideration includes two parts: (1) a model of the impact of contaminated groundwater resulting from urban sources; and (2) a model of the impact of contaminated groundwater on the recipients. Examples of the probabilistic approach to forecasting of the risk of groundwater contamination are considered in the territories of the leaching fields of domestic wastewater, the gas station and radioactive waste repository. Stochastic modeling was used for risk forecasting. The probability of water intake contamination, damage to the population from contamination of drinking water, and the value of the risk were calculated.
