Setting the System Boundaries of “Energy for Water” for Integrated Modeling
Bibliographic record
Abstract
M any studies over the last two decades have addressed the "water-energy nexus," generally defined as the interdependency between water and energy in their supply, processing, distribution, and use.The research community currently disaggregates the water-energy nexus into two components: "water for energy" and "energy for water."While there seems to be clear consensus on the definition of "water for energy"that is, water required for the extraction, processing, and transformation of energy as well as the irrigation of bioenergythere has been less agreement on the definition and system boundaries of "energy for water."We represent six integrated assessment modeling teams presently incorporating the hydrologic system and water demands into existing global models of energy, agriculture, land use, and climate.In this article, we propose system boundaries of "energy for water" that are appropriate for integrated energy and water modeling, and introduce a third category of processes that are relevant for the water-energy nexus, but that are not logically classified as either "water for energy" or "energy for water."

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
