Towards a tailored vision of water security in the North: A case study of the Inuvialuit Settlement Region in the Canadian Arctic
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Globally, the interest in water security is on the rise.Canada is fortunate to have an abundance of freshwater, and almost 20% of this is found in the Northwest Territories (NWT).Particular concern for the implications of climate change on the Mackenzie Delta, and the influence of land claims on water governance, make the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) in the NWT an important case study.Using a systematic literature review, thematic content analysis of 116 documents was conducted to understand how water is used and managed across scales in the ISR.A number of unique challenges emerged for the ISR in comparison to the Canadian water security context.Thus, a more tailored vision of water security needs to account for: cultural practices and well-being tied to uses of water/snow/ice, financial and capacity challenges related to remote locations, Indigenous land claims and governance complexities, ice as infrastructure, and high latitude sensitivities to climate change and contamination.

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.
