Values from 1 are set to 0. The function generates fsqca values below 0.5 for original values higher than 0.5, which we regard as high variation of annual flow. Thresholds with regard to income were chosen according to a classification by the World Bank (2011), which classified countries with a GNI per capita below as low-income economies (represented by an fsqca value of 0) and countries below $ as middle-income economies (represented by fsqca values below 0.5). Countries in both groups are regarded as developing countries according to this World Bank classification. Countries with $ or more GNI per capita are classified as high-income economies (represented by fsqca values of 0.5 or higher). According to the GNI dataset, the average GNI per capita across all high-income countries amounts to $ (represented by an fsqca value of 1). country f(x) = x/10 Linear normalization of the entire original data range. case study f(x) = 1 x/70 for x < 70 f(x) = 0 for x 70 case study f(x) = 1 x/200 for x < 200 f(x) = 0 for x 200 Linear normalization of values below 70. Values from 70 are set to 0. The calibration function reflects that the state of the environment tends to decline when agriculture exceeds 30-50% of the area (Allan 2004: 272). For shares above 35%, this function generates values below 0.5, indicating rather unfavorable context. Linear normalization of values below 200. Values from 200 are set to 0. We regard areas with more than 100 inhabitants/km 2 as relatively populous. For such population densities, the function generates values below 0.5, indicating rather unfavorable context. country f(x) = 1 x, with x = Income Negated fsqca value from the income row. case study f(x) = 1 x/12 for x < 12 f(x) = 0 for x 12 Linear normalization of values below 12. Values from 12 are set to 0. The function generates values below 0.5 for values higher than 6. Such a value can, for example, result from a change in monthly flow magnitude or its inter-annual variability of >20-40% in six months of the year. 5
