Abstract
A systems approach is used to model the urban water cycle. A model for analyzing the flows of water, energy, and chemicals and associated greenhouse gas emissions through the urban water infrastructure system is developed. A model is constructed to represent the City of Toronto urban water system from 2001 up to the year 2010. Scenarios are developed to assess the system-wide impacts of water distribution pipe renewal, sewer relining, demand management strategies, and energy recovery from anaerobically digested wastewater biosolids. Initiatives targeted at the early stages of the urban water cycle have greater positive downstream impacts on selected environmental indicators. Specifically, strategies aimed at reducing water demand produce more significant system-wide benefits. Demand management strategies aimed at reducing demand by 15% result in savings on the order of 12–18% for all environmental indicators. Demand management is also one of the most cost effective options.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
