Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This thesis updates estimates of agricultural water use in Ontario by applying agricultural water use coefficients to Statistics Canada 2001, 2006 and 2011 Agricultural Census Data and evaluates prior methods that have been developed to compile water estimates. This thesis also evaluates the use of crop water budgets as measures of water use by agriculture in Ontario. Furthermore this thesis examines the roles and responsibilities of the Government of Ontario in encouraging improved efficiency in water use in Ontario agriculture by examining changing perceptions of water use in Canada and Ontario, developing consistent definitions of agriculture water use, water conservation and water use efficiency, and using the existing categories of market and non-market failures as diagnostic keys to identifying problems in agricultural water use in the Ontario context.

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.
