Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Issues causing increased water stress and availability throughout the world are complex. The importance of supply-side issues arising from increasing urbanization, causing localized levels of water stress, is described. Further, while the world population has doubled over the last 50 years, water use has tripled. Water use rates have increased (from 400km3 per year per billion people in 1965, to the current level of 600km3 per year per billion people in 2015), as a result of population growth with its associated food and energy implications, and dietary shifts of populations.Water demands in 2025 are projected to be 1500km3 per year, or 60% more than volumes in 2015. The findings in a case study in the Zambezi River basin indicate that while climate change is projected as 25% of the projected impact to future water security issues, 75% of water security issues are attributable to population increases (and its related food, energy, and changing dietary habits) and hence, population increases represent a greater threat to water security.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not 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.
