Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

South Africa's 1998 National Water Act created a progressive framework for water management in the country that promoted equitable and sustainable use of water resources. The Act set out to repeal the discriminatory water policies of the apartheid era, which restricted access and allocation of water resources to black and Coloured South Africans. This was to be achieved via public participation and decentralized decision-making at the catchment level, through catchment management agencies. These bodies are supported by public forums, intended to initiate participation and identify key stakeholders. This process, similar to that of other countries, however, has yielded only marginal success and the reality of climate change is putting additional pressure on water resource decisions. This paper reflects the author's work on water governance in both South Africa and Canada.

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.
