What it is Derived, awaiting review
This meta-model describes the supply chains that deliver safe water and food: the sources they draw on (aquifers, farms, fisheries), the treatment and processing that make output safe, the quality testing tied to identifiable batches, and the networks, reserves and endpoints that distribute supply to people.
Note: First sentence of the legacy card introduction.
Why it exists Filled
Supply chains of water and food
Distinguishing features Derived, awaiting review
- It is its own model because water and food flows carry batch-level safety assurance and continuity-of-supply semantics that go beyond generic logistics: a batch that fails a test must be traceable both backwards to its source and forwards to its endpoints.

Owners Filled
Steward
Operators (utilities, processors, distributors) steward the records of their own segment of each chain, while public health and agriculture oversight archetypes hold verification access to quality and traceability data.

extends
- world.goodsMovement - movement of food and bottled water consignments specializes the F3 custody chain with lot identity and cold chain constraints.
references
- world.energy - pumping, treatment and cold storage are consumption points in the energy model.
- world.wasteFlow - processing residues and expired stock enter waste streams recorded there.
- world.landParcel - source sites and facilities are sited on identified parcels.
imports
- FAO - ALIGN: agricultural production and commodity classification equivalences.

Capabilities and actions required Derived, awaiting review
- sourceExtracted: raw water was abstracted or produce was harvested at a source site.
- batchTreated: a lot completed a treatment or processing stage.
- qualityTestRecorded: a test result was recorded against a lot or network point.
- contaminationDetected: a test or observation found supply unsafe, triggering trace and recall.
- reserveDrawnDown: a storage reserve fell below its target level.
- deliveryCompleted: a lot or continuous supply reached a retail endpoint.
- shortageDeclared: continuity of supply for an area was declared at risk.
Legacy events listed as state transitions.
Hazards and failure modes optional Missing, in the backlog
Not described yet. This gap is in the card backlog.
Standards and interfaces required Derived, awaiting review
- traceabilityAccess: an authorized party traces a lot backwards to sources and forwards to endpoints.
- qualityResultsFeed: oversight and endpoint stewards receive test results for chains serving them.
- reserveLevelReporting: continuity planners receive reserve levels without commercial detail.
- publicSafetyView: per-area quality summaries and advisories; omits facility internals and commercial data.
- operatorNetworkView: an operator's own sources, facilities, network state and reserves; omits other operators.
- provenanceTraceView: the full source-to-endpoint path of one lot for recall handling; omits unrelated lots.
Context of use required Filled
- All access is granted by the respective steward through the catalogue's S1/S2 ownership and access models, with trace audits recorded via S4.
