Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Life on earth depends on water. Unfortunately, water resources are not evenly distributed. There are countries with abundant water supplies, such as Brazil or Canada, and countries that lack water resources, such as Egypt or Jordan. Because water is critical for the production of food and other goods, as well as for human consumption, recreation and ecosystem support, competition among the various users for available supplies is often intense. The problem is compounded by the fact that water markets often work imperfectly or are lacking altogether. What can countries with limited water resources do? In rare cases, it may be possible to transfer water from water-abundant regions. For example, the small African country of Lesotho has abundant water supplies and sells its surpluses to South Africa (Mwangi, 2007). Another possibility is to build hydraulic infrastructures (wells, desalination plants, dams, etc.), which can be very expensive and often prove to be environmentally problematic (Velazquez, 2007). Yet another possibility is to consider importing agricultural products that require a lot of water during their production processes. Imports of such goods reduce the need to produce them in the country with scarce water resources. Water imported in the form of water-intensive goods is often referred to as “virtual water.”

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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.
