Review of scientific literature as well as case studies analysis of the European Union research on risk with regard to IWRM served for the assessment of challenges related to the risk and uncertainty estimation in water management. A novelty in the paper is a comprehensive presentation of risk analysis methods related to IWRM based on the analysis of case studies.
