| # 💧 Water Governance Embedding Model |
|
|
| This is an embedding model trained using public data from the Horizon Europe project **InnWater** (Grant Agreement No. 101086512). The model has been fine-tuned to capture domain-specific semantic relationships related to water governance, water resilience, stakeholder participation, decision-support systems, and sustainable water management. |
|
|

|
|
| ## 📁 Data Sources |
|
|
| The training data for this model was exclusively derived from **public deliverables** of the **InnWater Horizon Europe project**. These deliverables are available through the official European Commission portal and the project’s website. |

| ## Usage |
|
|
| ### Direct Usage (Sentence Transformers) |
|
|
| First install the Sentence Transformers library: |
|
|
| ```bash |
| pip install -U sentence-transformers |
| ``` |
|
|
| Then you can load this model and run inference. |
| ```python |
| from sentence_transformers import SentenceTransformer |
| |
| # Download from the 🤗 Hub |
| model = SentenceTransformer( |
| "Applied-Artificial-Intelligence-Eurecat/water-governance-bge-m3" |
| ) |
| |
| # Run inference |
| sentences = [ |
| "How can water governance systems improve stakeholder participation and decision-making?", |
| |
| "The InnWater project supports more resilient and sustainable water governance by integrating data-driven tools, stakeholder knowledge, and decision-support mechanisms. The project focuses on improving the way water-related information is collected, structured, shared, and used by decision-makers, public authorities, and other relevant stakeholders.", |
| |
| "Water governance requires the coordination of multiple actors, including public administrations, water utilities, citizens, environmental agencies, and policy makers. Effective governance frameworks must account for climate pressures, competing water uses, regulatory requirements, social participation, and long-term sustainability objectives.", |

| |
| embeddings = model.encode(sentences) |
| |
| print(embeddings.shape) |
| # [3, 1024] |
| |
| # Get the similarity scores for the embeddings |
| similarities = model.similarity(embeddings, embeddings) |
| |
| print(similarities.shape) |
| # [3, 3] |
| ``` |
