Drawdown story
AssessmentIs the water table's behavior near this facility consistent with its estimated draw — and how strong is the evidence? A fixed rubric, recomputed monthly; every number below is stored with the inputs that produced it. Method: attribution-v1.
1 · Pathway
The operator has not disclosed where this facility's water comes from. Until a source is published, the assessment is capped: an unclassified pathway can never raise the score.
2 · Detectability
Expected drawdown at the nearest monitored well could not be computed (no water-use estimate is available).
3 · Signal
No monitored well within 2 miles of this facility — there is no near-field record to compare against controls.
Facility not yet operating; baseline being recorded.
