Italian term or phrase: risorse effettive e quelle ipotizzabili
Contesto:

Gli ufficiali cartografi costruirono mappe; geologi e geografi studiarono i terreni, anche al fine di sviluppare un'agricoltura di piantagione e incrementare le bonifiche idrauliche, calcolarono la popolazione degli insediamenti, le risorse effettive e quelle ipotizzabili.

Molte Grazie,
